Message Board Post:
I am searching John COCK whose parents were Nicholas COCK and Philippa ROWE. John was born in 1852.
His siblings were, Eliza born 1838, Philippa born 1841/43, William born 1844/46, Elizabeth born 1847 and Nicholas born 1850 all from Camborne.
I pick John up in the 1871 census and do not find him again.
Would love to hear from anyone who can help.
Thank you,
Glynis - South Africa.

Interested in any family members with the above surname of Tilmanstone Kent
Folks,
to celebrate National Library Week in the U.S., Thomson Gale is offering
FREE ACCESS to 30 databases during the period 10 to 16 April, inclusive.
Thomson Gale's home page is at:
http://www.gale.com/
and details on the 30 databases are at:
http://www.gale.com/nlw/
Although several of their databases will be of interest, perhaps the
most useful one is:
The Times Digital Archive, 1785-1985--which contains every page as
published from 200 years of The Times of London. The Times is the
"world's newspaper of record" and covers all major international
historical events from the French Revolution to the Falklands War. For
the first time, users will be able to search the full-text of the entire
newspaper, including articles, editorials, birth, death and marriage
notices and advertising. If you have relatives who lived in London at
some point in time, this database could hold some surprises. Even doing
a simple surname search may yield new information about your family.
Mark you calendars for log in on April 10th:
