| Note | The baptism from Newlyn East Methodist circuit is -
6th Oct 1864 William James the son of James and Ann COCKING of Newlyn was
born 11th Aug 1864 and was baptized by Edw Nye
This is the son of James and Elizabeth Ann.
The other William, which I mentioned in the census entry is -
8th Mar 1866 Wm the son of Wm and Betsy COCKING of Newlyn was born 20th Jan
1866 and was baptized by Edwd Nye
but he is just William...

| Note | There is an extracted record on the IGI for a marriage which may be the parents -
John Cocking and Ann Parkyn 31 Oct 1857, East Newlyn
John age 27
Ann age 26 |
| Note | The 1861 census entry for James and Ann looks as though it was incorrectly transcribed -
Folio 67 Page 34
172,Church Town,1,James Cocking,Head,M,50,,Lead Miner,Newlyn Cornwall,,
,,,Ann Cocking,Wife,M,,39,His Wife,Colan Cornwall,,
,,,Mary Jane Cocking,Dau,U,,11m,,Newlyn Cornwall,,
,,,Sarah Parkyn,Visitr,W,,67,Hsekpr,St Columb Minor Cornwall,,
Almost certainly the right people - the ages look like they should be 30 and 29 - the Sarah Parkyn suggests the right people too. |
