« on: Sunday 01 April 07 21:55 BST (UK) »
I am Looking for any descendants of:-

John COCKAYNE of Swanwick born abt 1870 and Mary Woolley born 1869 Duffield
known children of theirs were:
Hannah born 1900
Florence
John William (Jack) born abt 1904
Samuel
Possibly another daughter as well

I have their info on the census up to 1901 but wish to trace them forward in order to share information about the Cockayne line

I'd suggest tracing the children via BMD.

You can always order certificates to help you with finer details.

Thanks Porkpie
We have come as far forward as we can on the BMD through our line but we have gaps.
For certain siblings named in our list we can not trace them forward but are hoping they are (or their desendants are) out there  somewhere and one day our paths may cross.
The Cockayne name sounds quite unusual but the problem is that it is very concentrated in certain localities and it has been difficult at times to move forward.

The other thing you could do is to search under the name Cokayne. (apologies if you've done this already)

I have a family of Clarke in my tree and they often hide as Clark!

I actually know some Cokaynes personally...I wonder if they are related!
