COUSINS of Freystrop, Wales

[Orielbenfro]

I am aware of a lady (Joy) who has done a vast amount and years of research into the Cozens/Couisens surname. I will pass a link onto her for her interest.

Thank you Oriel.

You never know! One clue seems to lead on to something else in this game.

I only discovered this, as when Sarah Thomas, nee Rees died, she named a W.A. Burton, as her grandson.

My research tells me that he would have been Eliza Couzens Thomas' son. She would have been only 3 when Sarah married her dad, the Rev. James Hughes Thomas. Thus, I imagined she only knew Sarah as her mother.

Anyway, your contact may tell me that the Rev.'s first wife may have been a Martha Couzens and that is why three kids have this as their second name!

I am the person whom Orielbenfro mentioned as having fully researched a Cozens family in Pembroke Dock.  They have no connection with those of Freystrop having transferred as shipwrights from the Admiralty dockyard in Plymouth, Devon 1822/1823. 

Sorry but I am unable to help with those from Freystrop.

Hi Paterchurch and thank you for your response.

You Cozens didn't have relations called William Ivemey, by any chance. He did likewise, that is shifted from Plymouth to Pembroke Docks. But then I imagine many families did the same, if the Pembroke Docks were established around that time.

Definitely no William Ivemey in my line so I can't help you.

Hello mrsb06 ... I have only just seen your message about Beatrice and William James COUSINS and apologise for not replying before now. Are you still in touch with Rootschat? i hope so.
In the meantime I need to do a lot of paper shuffling as I haven't touched my family history for quite a while.
