I've not yet found anything about the Cocksedge connection
because I've only just started looking, but thought I'd join the
list and say hello anyhow.
Eileen COCKSEDGE was the 3rd wife of my grandfather Walter James
NICHOLS (known as Jim). She died sometime in the 1990's. Her dob
was 3 May (I don't know what year), and they married 23 Feb 1972
according to an old letter my mother had (now misplaced). They
lived in Ealing, London, where they both died.
I understood from Eileen that she was from Norfolk, England, but
apart from her father (forename unknown), she never would talk
about her family. Her father was in the Norfolk Regiment in WW1
and was one of the pallbearers of the casket at the funeral of
Edith Cavell at Norwich Cathedral (I have a copy of a photo of
this that Eileen sent to me and I've also seen the same photo on
the internet).
Does anyone know more about this family or what Eileen's father's
name was, or have any connections to them
