I am trying to find the names of the parents of my great-grandfather Thomas Cooksey, born 1855 in Brierley Hill, Staffordshire.

Thankyou

Hi Susan I have Cooksey in my tree from the same area you are looking. I have made some notes on possibles with this surname. I would say the Thomas Cooksey you are looking for is the one in census living in Delph Lane, if you are able to confirm this then I have a couple of enteries that relate to this family. e.g Mary Maria Cooksey's marriage details
