Oh you a gem, hope you can findthem.
I have John Cockroft born Halifax,but could be Ovenden 1776. He died sometime between 1841 and 1851. He is not ont he 1861 census so assume he died then. His wife
Sally born around the same time.
Joseph Cockroft , born 1815 his son and joseph's wife
Betty born 1820.
Would be grateful if you can find them.
