Hi, I was born a Cocker in Royston/Wakefield, subsequently legally adopted, with change of name.
According to my limited research, my Great, Great, Great Grandfather was born John Cocker in Wragby, 1816.
Any Relevence?
Regards,

Hi
Yes It could be the John. Mine married Hannah Longfield in 1843.
He died in March 1900 aged 84 years.
Do you have any further info.

Hi again,
that's interesting, and sounds like the same one, and all I had was Hannah but no surname thus far, it looks correct. I do have further limited information leading down to my mother.
However this is quite sensitive to me, and could be to others , so I would like to know if possible how you are connected to John Cocker.
I have started researching this purely from a historical point of view, so any information or advice would be helpful.
Regards,

Hi
He was my gggg grandad.  Three generations back was an illegitimate son which makes us Cockers from there back.
I have a lot of info on the Cockers.  I do have a full tree on Genes Reunited but you have to be a member.

Hi Jo,
many thanks for the information, and it looks as though we are connected in some way.
I was illegitimate when born, hence also adopted. There has been no contact between myself and my birth mother or family.
Therefore I am being very careful regarding my identity now, and with respect to possible direct legitimate descendants of John Cocker who may not know of my existence.
I would love to give you further information, but not in a public fashion for obvious reasons. I have found possible matches for John Cocker on Genes Reunited as you have mentioned, and I am going to request to view what I think is your family tree through that website message service, basically to find out how we may be connected.
I hope to hear from you through there.
Regards

Hi
I fully understand your situation and any info would not be used.
I will look for your request on Genes.
