Just to add another fly in the ointment...there is also a Stretton quite near by...and having googled it...http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/DBY/StrettonenleField/index.html
it is in Derbyshire, but not the one I was thinking of!

On that link you will find both Measham and oakthorpe mentioned...so I think it is Oakthope you want!

Don't forget this link too Martin...very useful locally.

Not too sure if i might have gone to school with you if you live in the area!!!

On checking out your website, it wasn't you, but good luck anyway!

I think you'll find it's called Oakerthorpe now.

It's about 4 miles away from Ripley.

West Derby/Bootle are in the Liverpool area, so perhaps you'd be better off posting this queery on a different county board...Lancashire I think! Not sure any of us Derbyshire folk can help I'm afraid!

Good luck

Hi Sherwood,

It definitely says White Lee.

However, I've looked on Genuki and there was no such a place. The nearest place I can imagine it may be is Willesley which isn't a million miles away.

"a rail-road from Willesley basin to Ticknall, passing Ashby-de-la-Zouch" (from Genuki)

This suggests they are close in proximity and were also linked.

What do you think?

The other thing you could do is to search under the name Cokayne. (apologies if you've done this already)

I have a family of Clarke in my tree and they often hide as Clark!

I actually know some Cokaynes personally...I wonder if they are related!

I'd suggest tracing the children via BMD.

You can always order certificates to help you with finer details.

Thanks for that...I've not dug very far yet, but this is the side I have to concentrate on sometime!

Hi there again Gardener!

I'm certain they are the right ones...what mis-transcriptions!

What I was trying to discover was when Samuel may have died...so obviously between 1841 and 1851 I guess?!


Thanks
