COCK family in the Fleetwood area

[towthorpe32]

I'm researching the COCK family, Robert & Agnes Cock, who moved from Beetham in the Lakes and took over Rossall Grange farm in the late 1800s. They had 10 children and some are buried in Fleetwood Cemetery, Lancashire.

Robert & Agnes were my great-grandparents and I'd be interested in contacing anyone who has any information about the family.

Thanks

Martin

Thanks stitchwitch - I've done quite well on Ancestry etc so looking for missing details...

There are several newspaper articles on them (floods, fires, death of son John, animal exhibitions, military camping out on the farm etc etc) on FindmyPast.
Anything in particular you are looking for?
