Sarah Cookson or Crookson?
« on: Sunday 12 April 15 16:54 BST (UK) »
Sarah Cookson on married James Harris on 8th Apr 1827 in Meole Brace. The censuses say she was born in Meole Brace about 1803.

I have the baptism of a Sarah Crookson who was baptised on 2nd December 1804 in Meole Brace. Her parents were John and Martha. I haven't seen the original image and I don't know if she has been accidentally transcribed as Crookson.

Does anyone have access to the original image? Or, if not, know where I can see it?

Thanks,
Betty

Hi Betty
John and Martha Crookson also had Jane (1794), John(1797), Thomas (1799)and William(1795) baptised at Meole Brace so not a clerical error with Sarah :)

There is a John Cookson marrying a Martha Pugh in Cound (a six miles from Meole Brace) in Aug 1792.
No obvious John Crookson marriage to a Martha
Hope that helps
