Possible marriage.........if so, Alice's name may not actually be Cooksley..........would all need checking

Charles Henry Cooksley 1894 Jan-Feb-Mar Bedminster Gloucestershire, Somerset
Emma Harris 1894 Jan-Feb-Mar Bedminster Gloucestershire, Somerset

Thanks Reg for having another look......I did think Charles was a bit old at 54 for Emma! 34 is a bit closer in age to her at least.

I think the family you mentioned in 1891 in Bristol are probably correct, as I have a Frederick Cooksley....ie Charles' brother, boarding with Emma's family in Cardiff in 1901.Their daughter, Alice was probably named after Charles' sister too.

thanks again for your help.
