Hi Franka
Well Madpants and I had a very pleasant drive over the North Yorkshire Moors to Commondale, but sadly found no gravestone for Alfred Cockerill in the Churchyard there, so sorry, but no further forward with his burial details.
Inside the Church was a list of contact telephone numbers, the Vicar lives at Danby Vicarage, his parish covers Danby, Westerdale, Commondale and a few other places, I already gave you his telephone number. The Commondale Churchwarden's name and number was also listed. I will pm you the telephone number so that you can contact either of them to find the whereabouts of the burial register, that may give a better result than emailing.
Also inside the Church was a list of charges for consulting the burial records, £19 for 1 hour's research including 1 copy of any one entry found
The pub landlady (well we needed some refreshment!) told us of a gentleman living in the village who looks after the Churchyard and would probably be able to tell you about Alfred. I will pm you his details.
Alfred and Robert Leggat's names were on the War Memorial in the village, the picture of the Memorial that I've seen on the internet didn't seem to show the names clearly, so I took photos of them if you're interested, will need your email address (please send me a pm with that) if you wish me to send you those photos.
Kind regards
Barbara
