Title: Cosnett
Post by: bully on Thursday 09 October 25 18:04 BST (UK)
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

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
