Chatting with my mum, she remembers my Great Granny & her cousin, Lena, travelling by train to Newquay once a year to visit cousins who lived on The Island at Newquay. Previously we were unsure of their surname & had been searching for the wrong one - but I had a breakthrough this week - we discovered they were called William Morley COCKS (known as Morley) & Annie (nee Berryman). Annie was a first cousin to my Great Granny. Mum thinks that their son was called Edgar , & in turn his wife was called 'Carrie' - I found a marriage for John Edgar Roy COCKS & & Catherine A McCallum in 1954. I think that Morley & Annie may also have had a son called Peter COCKS.
If there is anyone out there whocan help me find out anything about this family, I would be fascinated to hear from you.
Many thanks.
