many thanks.
Things have moved on a bit since this original posting. It appears that my ggrandmother (daughter of Cornelius Cobb) had a misheard surname on her second marriage cert and her surname was Copp not Cobb. Also, I am 95% certain that my grandmother was adopted so Copp or Cobb for that matter now doesnt feature in my tree.
Thank you very much for taking the time to look for the mysterious Cornelius
