My GG granddad appears as Edward Corkwell in Censuses through the 1800s but the only baptism I can find is of Edward Worthington Corkwell in December 1799, son of William Corkwell and wife Sarah nee Worthington. I did come across marriage banns for this couple in 1798 but now can't find any trace of a marriage. Would welcome any clues.

Could you please tell us where and when Edward was born :)

On Ancestry
Sarah Worthington
Marriage Date 27 Aug 1798
Marriage Place Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, England
Spouse William Cockwell
Witnesses were John Worthington & James Smith. Original does look like Corkwell ;D

The marriage entry is available on Ancestry - surname written as Corkwell although he made his mark while Sarah signed, and William's surname transcribed as Cockwell.
So I agree with rosie99 :)

Thank you Rosie99 and BumbleB. I'm not sure where and when Edward was born and his age differs on every census from 1841 to 1881. However I do know Edward Worthington Corkwell was baptised on 10th December 1799. The same spelling 'Cockwell' was transcribed from the 1861 census but a close examination of the actual scan shows it is in fact Corkwell.
