Hello all,
My name is Edmund Douglas Flack, the grandson of Frederick Henry Douglas Flack and Alice Cockshutt, b. 13 June 1890, m. 21 January 1914 and d. 8 July 1955.
I was named after my great uncle Edmund Meredith Cockshutt b. 7 December 1893, m. 1 July 1925, d. 10 July 1964 who married Winifred Evans b. 6 November 1895.
I believe Edmund Meredith Cockshutt's father was another Edmund Cockshutt b. ABT 1862, d. 14 June 1904 who married Emily Meredith b. 27 July 1863
I knew my great uncle Edmund Cockshutt when I was a boy and stayed with him in his home in Macclesfield, Cheshire England. He told me he was a silk designer and that his family had been in the weaving industries for generations. I remember that he had a wooden leg, having been wounded in the 1st World War whilst serving with the Lancashire Regiment.
Does anyone share any of my Cockshutt forebears? I would love to hear from you.
Ted (Edmund) Flack
