Hi Tim
Thanks for your message but I haven't been able to find a link between your ancestors and those who died in the flood.
I now believe the family who died in the flood were COGGIN and not COGGAN.
William and Elizabeth Coggin lived at Neepsend in an area devastated by the flood but they escaped with their lives as they were actually away from home on the night of the flood, somewhat ironically attending the funeral of a relative. When they returned home they found that three of their children had been drowned in the beds in which they slept.
William was christened on 25th May 1828 in Stainton and his parents were Alfred Coggin (1796 to 1854) and ElizabethClark (1793 to 1835).
Good luck with your searches.

Hi
In response to your flood research, it is interesting that in my family's past they originated in Wakefield. My great grandfather was a William Coggin born perhaps slightly after 1864 into a family involved in the "cattle business". I wonder if his family was the one visited. I have no information on his parents. All I know is William was in the Boer war, at wars end he took the family; wife Adelaide, son Roland, daughters, Grace, Edith, Agnes and son William to Kansas then to Crossfield, Alberta.
When Roland was killed in WWI they all moved to the US to work in the mines of Western PA.
