Cooksons in Cheshire
We have Cookson ancestors who lived in the areas of Great Barrow, Tarvin, Tarporley, Clotton, Utkinton, Little Budworth, Sandbach, Winsford and Cuddington - probably many more too.
Most of them were millers and farmers, and one of them - James Cookson - was very wealthy. He lived at Utkinton Lodge but owned Hockenhull Hall, Holmestreet Hall, Park Hall and Woodford Hall near Winsford. When he died in 1877 he left money to build the church at Cotebrook.
Anybody out there got any connections or Cookson ancestry?
Cheers,
John
