Cornwall / Re: anyone else researching BERRYMAN In Cornwall
« on: Wednesday 28 February 24 21:43 GMT (UK)  »
Hey Mike!
I am descended from the Berryman & Thomas families too.
I am descended from Berrymans from both Porthmeor & Zennor Churchtown - and my Thomas family moved from Zennor to Lanyon.

Cornwall / COCKS family - THE ISLAND, NEWQUAY
« on: Thursday 15 March 18 23:26 GMT (UK)  »
Chatting with my mum, she remembers my Great Granny & her cousin, Lena, travelling by train to Newquay once a year to visit cousins who lived on The Island at Newquay. Previously we were unsure of their surname & had been searching for the wrong one - but I had a breakthrough this week - we discovered they were called William Morley COCKS (known as Morley) & Annie (nee Berryman). Annie was a first cousin to my Great Granny. Mum thinks that their son was called Edgar , & in turn his wife was called 'Carrie' - I found a marriage for John Edgar Roy COCKS & & Catherine A McCallum in 1954. I think that Morley & Annie may also have had a son called Peter COCKS.

If there is anyone out there whocan help me find out anything about this family, I would be fascinated to hear from you.

Many thanks.

Thanks for your prompt reply!
My friend is the Great Great grandson of Ada Smith - the sister of your Great Grandfather. Living down in Cornwall we havent found it easy to trace the Chesterfield branch, and this website has been a Godsend. I'd happily send you all of our research to date.

Zoe !
How exciting to hear from you ... I have been helping my best friend with his family tree ... he is descended from George Roper-Smith's daughter Ada - which of his children are you descended from?

Cornwall / Re: NEWQUAY - The Island - 'Edgar & Carrie' HOCKING ? ?
« on: Tuesday 15 March 11 00:21 GMT (UK)  »
Like you, I have had no luck in tracking down a likely marriage ... Mum could well be related to Carrie, as opposed to Edgar  ... I hope that with 'The Island' being a very well known property in Newquay that someone may have some record of who lived there at that time.
Thank you for trying so hard to help me.

I imagine they would have beem of a similar age to my Great Granny (born 1899) - so no worries of them still being alive.

I wonder if Thomas & Mary jane had a son after 1901 called Edgar ?

If it's the Thomas Hocking that married my Great Granny's Auntie, who was this Edgar's father  - both he and she were born in Zennor.

Hmmmm .... the Mevagissey part makes me think this isn't the right Edgar ... I suppose Edgar could have been a middle name that was used.
My Great Granny would have been visiting them when Mum was about 10 or so ...so roughly 1958, if thats a help.
