Cockshoot & Kershaw
by Bryan/Carole Cockshott
Does anyone have a connection to James Cockshoot who married Margaret
Kershaw in Blackburn 1848.
James and Margaret had the following children: Betsy Jane 1849, Edward
Gregson 1852, Margaret 1854, Sarah Harriet 1858 and Edith Ramsden 1860.
Margaret the mother appears to have died about the time of Edith's birth and
the children were taken in and shown as 'adopted' on the 1861 and later
census, by William Ramsden and his wife Elizabeth. I believe that Elizabeth
could have been Margaret's sister.
Edith Ramsden Cockshoot married James Doody in 1888 in Blackburn.
