Hi,
thanks for your reply. It's been a while since I have seen anything on this topic, and I have learnt more about these people since doing so.
I'm interested in where you found this information, but we may be talking about different William Cocks. My understanding is that William, the husband of Margaret Penberthy, died in Redruth in December 1822, aged about 40. My last record on Margaret is in the 1851 Census, when she was 68 and is recorded as a widow. I have two records of death for a Margaret Cock, both in Redruth. The first is on January 20 1860, the Royal Cornwall Gazette noted the death at Redruth of Mrs Margaret Cock, aged 76, on January 11. The age equates with Margaret’s birth date, but given her humble circumstances I'm surprised she gets a mention in the Gazette. Her residence is noted in Cornwall Online Parish Clerks' database as The Hill.
Another Margaret Cock is registered as dying in Redruth in the Oct-Dec quarter of 1852. No age given.
Their son William Cock, emigrated to South Australia about 1840 and died there in April 1851.
So I'd be really interested to see your information on William.
