I think Charles's name was Purnell. I've found the marriage of Charles Purnell to Mary Lewis in 1868 so it looks like Emily's father died and her mother remarried.

Emily the daughter married John Fish after Taliesin died. They moved to somewhere in England. They had no children.

I think I have to agree that Robert Henry and Emily were never married, although she claims they were and calls herself a widow in 1911.

Thanks, everyone for all your efforts.

I looked at that Coggin but did'nt follow it up.

My pooter keeps having fits and turning itself off then I too had to feed a hungry man!!

You have been busy while I was away.

Annie lol

:-D :-D

Mother rescued and lit up again!

You have been busy. Thank you all so much.

Daughter Emily married Taliesin Thomas Rodd so that's where that name comes in. He died of TB in 1907 so she's a widow too on the 1911. I've looked into the Port Talbot info before now and I'm pretty sure there's no direct connection. I wondered about the marriage to Frances Rix but I've followed him for a while and I don't think he's our Robert. Off to feed a hungry hubby. Thanks again for your efforts. I originally put the title to this thread as "Can't find a Cocking marriage" but thought it might get an RR!

Thanks, both, yes I have those censuses. Kind people on here found those for me a while ago. I'm assuming Emilie was counting the 30 years back from when Henry died so that would make the marriage around 1881ish. I'm beginning to think they weren't married at all. The trouble is Cocking appears as Cooking, Cockin and Emilie's daughter, also Emily, married as Coggin.

Had a phone call from my mother whose stair lift has stopped working and she's stuck upstairs. She's also fused the lights. Back soon - I hope!

Which dau is with Emilie on the 1911 please?

Well . Doesn't look like there was a marriage

So saying married 30 years on the 1911 census covers the marriage being pre the birth of Emily M b1884
