Hi Julie
Unfortunately, Bersted is in West Sussex, and I have very little or no information on that part of the county other than the 1841 census.
Will check that after dinner this evening

Hi Julie
Found this info on Bersted as it no longer appears on my maps
Bersted (North & South)
The twin villages, sadly now bear little of the original character, having been swallowed up by the expanding suburbs of Bognor Regis. At one time South Bersted was the original village of Bognor. Back in the 1780s a wealthy hatter from Southwark, Sir Richard Hotham, bought a farm there and started to re -develop the area. He is buried at South Bersted, his scheme cost him some £60,000, but he failed to change the name Bognor to Hothampton.
According to records, it comes under Aldwick, Chichester in West Sussex HO107/ 1099/
As there is no index to the 1841, I have slowly scrolled through the 106 pages for South Bersted - but did not spot anyone with the Cobby Surname - Will have a look through North Bersted in a moment.

Hi Julie,
Just to complete the info, here are the entries for your families from the 1841 census:
ref HO107 1090-12 folio 6 page 4: Yapton
James Row age 70 ag lab
Charlotte do age 35
Charles do age 10
George do age 5
Sarah Cobby age 15
Ann Cobby age 10
all born in county
three houses futher down the same page:
William Morris age 80 ag lab
Frank Cobby age 60 ag lab
Charlotte do age 60
Frank Cobby age 30 ag lab
all born in county
So was Charlotte married to James in the first household, or was she his daughter ? Strange that the two young Cobby girls were living with the Row family. I wish you luck with this one.
xx Carol
