Thebug Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Hi, My cousin in Cambridge is working on the family tree using Ancestory and other such tools but has come across a bit of a stumbling block. It's a long shot but I wondered if these names rang a bell to anyone. Edwin Oxley Mary Emma Melissa cockayne Frances Cockayne. The dates are around 1864 to 1884 that have been given for different life events. And Attercliffe has been mentioned as a place of interest. Thanks Katie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smary Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Mary Emma Melissa Cockayne married Edwin Oxley Sept quarter of 1884 but they don't appear on the census of 1891 or any of the others. More specific dates for each person would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smary Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Mary Emma Melissa Cockaynes parents appear to be William Cockayne born 1842 and Ann Thrutchley born 1844. Someone on Ancestry is researching this family. No Frances Cockayne has shown up as yet. Although there is a Frances Annie born 1896 could this be her?

Thebug Posted September 14, 2013 Author Share Posted September 14, 2013 Hiya, I have discovered the main stumbling block with this search is finding out the parents of Edwin Oxley if anyone can help? They seem to be a mining family. Any help much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUFFEMS Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 As you have the marriage details the best way to find the father of Edwin Oxley is to purchase his marriage certificate showing his father's name and his occupation. In family history research it's always wise to "prove as you go", it saves making expensive mistakes by following the wrong line through. Good luck.
