The first thing you need to tell us is some dates -- when did Antony Joseph Cockburn marry Ellen Burrows? It is that marriage record that names his father as Richard Thomas Cockburn? When and where did they have children, and when and where did they die? |

I have 2 spellings for him Anthony and anttony on a letter that my mother had ? Anthony and Ellen married in madras in 1907 , I found that they had a child Edmund godfrey in 1908 but can not find anything else about Edmund . My mother b 1924 and sister? were put in a convent when they were young , my mother thought that her father died when they were young that's why they were put in a convent , she also had a brother called henry but I don't know what happen to him I think he was in the IAF ( indian Air Force, I think ?) regards eve |

just because of the name and date and place you might want to file this away as maybe related (in the same 'batch' as Edmund's birth) |

I don't know where else to look, ------- is there any way I could try and look for my mothers brother henry who was in the IAF ( which I think is the Indian Air Force ) |
