MARY COCKROFT I am looking for any info on my g/g/g/grandmother Mary Cockroft, who was married to Edward Holgate. My g/g/grandmother Emma Holgate was born 29 Dec 1844 in Ovenden, Yorkshire. Can anyone help please? Thanks!

Hi Sheila
I have a Thomas and Hannah Cockroft, their children Clara, Walter & Albert all born in the Northowram Area of Halifax.
Clara was born 1880 and Albert b1888.
I have just started researching this side of my tree.
Thomas was b1848, Hannah b1850.
Albert who was my G Uncle b1892 and married Lucy Whitaker.
Do not know if this ties in with your family but I am trying to find Hannah's maiden name and Thomas's Parents.
Cheers Paul Holroyd
