Francis Cockerill
« on: Wednesday 28 October 20 22:54 GMT (UK) »
Hi all,

My 5x great grandfather, Francis Cockerill married Elizabeth Soltan in 1775 in Burton Fleming, where he had two daughters, Mary and Martha. There is a baptism record for a Francis Cockerill in 1765 in Burton Fleming. This would make him 10/11 when he was married?!?!?

If I have traced the correct lineage, how likely is it that a 10 year old married and had children?? HE died in 1784.

Ryan

Is Elizabeth of a similar age  :-\

Have you seen the marriage register entry, could he have been previously married.

As Francis signed the register, I think he might have been a bit older than 10/11  :)  The marriage was also by Banns, both of this parish.

Good point BumbleB.

Unfortunately, Rosie, I cannot find a baptism for his wife, Elizabeth (nee Soltan). I do not believe that he was previously married, but I will take a look on FindMyPast.
