Hello,

Please can someone check the following for me:

Armley, Leeds film HO107 / 2314 foilo 395.

I've been looking at a transcript for Edward Cockerham who appears on there, I'd like his full family details though please. I think this is my family, though the daughter Mary Ann is shown as 9 years old on the manuscript and i was expecting her to be 9 months.

Please could someone check it for me and give me the actual details.

Thanks,
Andy

Thanks, it certainly looks like the right family, just the puzzle about Mary Ann's birth - I wonder if she was fibbing about her age at her wedding?!?
