There is a stone with the name "A Cock" not far from where I live. I wonder if he was stiff  :o when they buried him?

Article with a little history and reference a newspaper report that in the 1920's "Argue & Phibbs" were actively considering taking on a third member of staff, a solicitor from England by the name of CHEETAM!!

I couldn't believe that last one, Reufrozinia Cornelia  so had to check it - born 1897 in South Shields. Appears in 1901 as Afrozina C Oyster with parents Andrew and Cornelia. Andrew was a German subject and Cornelia was Dutch, so I suppose that is where it came from.
