Yorkshire (West Riding) / cousin Irene- ive found her
« on: Monday 08 September 08 19:44 BST (UK)  »
some time ago I posted a message to ask for help to find my mother's cousin Irene. My mum died some 30 years ago but left me a collection of photographs with no knowledge of who or what they were. I started researching my family tree about 5 years ago and one day when I meet them all  in heaven boy am I going to tell them a thing or two.
My mother was born Dorothy Ellis and I had assumed cousin Irene was an Ellis or maybe a Cooke - my grandmother's maiden name. How wrong can one be. Grandfather was the base born son of Agnes Ellis- she eventually married leaving two sons to be brought up by her parents. She married William Massey a widower with children and they eventually had more of their own. One of which was Eve Massey who had a daughter out of wedlock by the name of Irene just a few years older than Mum. WHAT A TANGLED WEB!!!!!!!
My great grandmother died only a few months after I was born but it was all kept so quiet and I knew nothing about all this. but what fun finding out!!!!! Janet

I know the feeling only to well. I started with so very little just 6 years ago after my daugter was married. I have been so surprised and at times quite shocked as to what I have found, far to much to list on here. Only to say my mother was so victorian and would turn in her grave if she knew just how much I have found. So my best wishes to Ted and I would be only to happy to send on any more I have on my side of the wragg family. regards Janet

I  can add just a little bit more. My 2x greatgrandfather was Chales Elijah Cooke born in Deasingham Norfolk in 1827. He married and became a master sadle and harhess maker with his own business listed in the Whites directory in Lincolnshire. His mother was Mary Wagg born 1789 in Norfolk

England / Re: where do I go from here

I have just found your message and thank you that confirms most of my research so far. I was born into the Lockwood family and so that is my main interest. Their daughter Harriot was my 3x greatgrandmother. Your information on her is a great help to me. I did know Thomas was a widower when he married Judith Tricker but I have not really been able to get back any further with concrete evidence as to who Thomas's parents were. Many many thanks Janet
