Hi all,
I'm looking for some help to find more info on a Charles Cosnett, who was living in the Warley area in what was Worcestershire around 1891.
According to that census, he was 31 and married to Sarah, he was a phosphorus maker.
I have info from the 1911 as well, it seems he died, as Sarah is a widow then.
It would be really good if you could help me find him when he was younger.....Possible parents......there are some Cosnetts in Pershore, so wandering if there's a connection there.
Thank you all

No birthplace or birthyear given
1891 shows Pershore 1862 1881 gives 1864 Pershore
The only birth on freebmd is 1859
Have you looked for their marriage? The only one I can see on freebmd is 1880
There is a baptism 9.11.1863 @ Holy Cross Worcs - single parent - mother Eliza

1911 has a daughter Martha b 1893. GRO online shows mmn Cockbill which matches the spouse on the 1880 marriage entry on freebmd
-
Ancestry has the marriage image as Charles CORNETT & Sarah COCKILL

Sorry guys, I forgot to add Charles birth date, which I believe was 1860.
The 1891 census has him at 31.
Martha who has been mentioned, is one of their children born 1894.
Thanks
