Hi

It might help if you gave us a time frame, for example 19th century, 20th century or decades 1920's, 1890's.

If there is a connection, then methodical and thorough research will eventually find it. But that is something that takes time and patience, cant be rushed or the possibly vital little link can be missed.

[hannahlee]

the time period would be 1740 to 1860 but then it could be conneted to his children which then would be 1800s to the 1900s hope that helps

To even make a start, we will need something more specific than this.

You mention a William Cobbett and family. What do you know about them - assuming he is no longer alive - what dates can you give us for him? Do you know when and where he was born? His parents names? Mothers maiden name? Etc etc.  His children?

By methodically researchung him, his siblings, his parents, their siblings and siblings descendents, plus their spouses etc you will see if you come across the names you mention.
But that could be a lifetimes work!

Hannah,  There's more than one William Cobbett who lived in Farnham.   We really can't begin to try and help without knowing some more details.
