1) I am interested if and how John Torr of Etna Furnace near Philadelphia West Jersey, yeoman, relates to Jaboel Torr of Scrooby, Nottinghamshire (Notts), England, UK, please?

2) Also if any link to TORR of Hatfield, Yorkshire, or that locality in Yorkshire, please?

I noticed that Jaboel Torr, of Scrooby, Nottinghamshire, in England, UK, was a Quaker and his Daughters:-

Phebe TORR married James BUCK

Rebecca TORR married Thomas DOEG.

Ann TORR of Stockton (Daughter of Jaboel and Mary TORR of Scrooby, Notts) married John ROBINSON of Stockton, Durham (Son of William and Sarah Robinson of Kirby Moorside, Yorkshire).

Thank you, Mark

LM, don't forget your summer hat and hopefully not too hot for you, with a cool breeze off the coast and some refreshing drinks.

Mark

My clothes are usually not fit for charity shops, they have been worn out!

My tops and any shirts, end up as my night  (bed shirts) modern washing machines keep them fresh, but they are just a bit worn around the collar.

I kept getting a perfume smell in my bed recently, but no lady has graced my bed for a while. It was coming from some underarm roll on deodrant and smell has gone since I have moved it.

Mrs P, has sold up and moved away.

Anyway I won't be going on holiday when I read headlines like this:-

Our dream holiday was ruined by hotel shoot-out

Queues at airports, stress of flying and turbulance (I'm not a flyer at all). A neighbour who looks healthy, fit and clean (her house looks spotless from the outside and I bet the inside is too), in her 50s said recently that she always picks something up now and comes back ill.

There are some beautiful places and walks right on my doorstep and why do I want all that travel stress.

A family member was killed in a military air crash and they can stick it!

I did all that abroad stuff when I was 18 to 25. I went on Inter Rail too all round Europe, also did week-ends to Holland and Belgium and France. A couple of Islands in the Med., the Isle of Man too, about 20 times and some most beautiful and remote places in Scotland and also Wales!

London, Paris, Nice, France, the French  Riviera, Rome, Florence, Pisa, Austria, Holland, Begium, Germany, seen the street entertainers (where we were warned beforehand, so some on the trip stayed in the Hotel), those of us who went had an absolutely great Summer's evening in our shirt sleeves and no they didn't get my wallet and nobody there pulled a gun either like a few weeks before.

The Police kept a presence with guns though.

Stood and walked on a frozen Glacier in Austria and did our tour of New Zealand, twice, etc.

When we got on one long train it was overcrowed and after we crossed the border into Italy everyone with their luggage was ordered off the train by Police with automatic weapons and we stood on the platform in the summer evening heat wondering what was going on. Then another locomotive with about 10 more coaches coupled onto the back. The train was now massive in length and the same Police told us we could get back on.

We were invited into or to strangers homes who were obviously well heeled and given drinks, today you couldn't do that!

When we asked this French chap why he had showed us hospitality, he said I could see you were English with rucksacks, that his Wife was English and had held a job in the government, she had passed away, he was a Pensioner and it looked like we needed a cool drink and he wanted a chat.

In Venice we went to a religious meeting of ours and this family invited us back and they had a beautiful waterfront home with cool marble floors, but sitting out on their terrace with sun screens, having a meal and drinks was most memorable and they took us out on their motor launch for an evening trip afterward.

When your immune system goes out of balance for an extended time after an illness I had actually recovered from and it causes secondary infections and upsets the functioning of organs, blood pressure, blood flow, I've decided to go for the avoidance option. I won't take anything if there is a possibility of certain reactions, rather than the live for today attitude.

My GP says to me, you keep doing what your doing, so I don't risk mixing in the crowd, but hey I have some great memories and even with my Wife leaving I have some great and wonderful memories with her too.

It was sad that she decided to move away, but I can't get sad, because I'm alive and even though I have to monitor and watch out for this or that, re my health, I can still communicate, developed a taste for nice natural foods and go for walks.

Life is what it is 

Take care all and I hope those suffering get well, or can get their conditions stable.

All the best, Mark

Martha Pearson, Spinster of West Stockwith (Father, William Pearson, Mariner)

1850
Fortunately, the Master's Certificate of John Cockin, Mariner, survives, along with his Return and says:-

According to the back of his Service which John Cockin had passed to the Merchant Seaman Office, he had failed to give his Birth and they wouldn't issue him with a Master Certificate to begin with and it was returned, which he then completes.

I request that my Certificate may be transmitted to the Custom House of the Port of GOOLE. Signed John Cockin

John Cockin, Mariner, was born Stainforth, Yorkshire on 24 April 1798 [in the Parish of Hatfield]

The two James Cockin signatures (for comparison) with George Hood's 1815 Marriage witness James Cockin (where there is a pause in the forming of the k, at Selby, Yorks are:-

1791 Thorne, Yorkshire

Frances Corner, Spinster of ye same
Wits:- John Jenkinson ; John Wilson

According to the Register note underneath this marriage it says:-  "the above sent to Court"

James Cockin of Stainforth was later in York Castle, accused of Sheep Stealing and I've wondered if the marriage related to the sheep thief. Joseph Rowbottom was co accused.

James Cockin, was discharged.

Added:-
No, (or not directly), the case was in 1836 and the newspaper said he was 40. Unless he was trying to prove a family link, to get a lighter sentence.

Added:-
Interesting that when John Cockin was born in 1858, his parents William Cockin, a a Seaman (Merchant Service) and Martha (nee Pearson) his Wife, lived at Rowbotham Buildings, Goole.

 ---------------

Regarding, Mary Torr, her Father was John Torr of Hatfield Woodhouse, Lab'r and James Cockin was the Son of Ja's Cockin, Farmer, of Barnby Dun.

The Son, James Cockin seems to be the one buried at Armthorpe 11th January 1824, 67 years, birth about 1757 and there is a baptism at Barnby Dun 22 August 1756, James Son of James Cocking.
