Hi Jack,
I just typed in cooksons of penrith in " microsoft search" and it has come back with over 250 listings, some of them have occupations and other information, one of them have said the poet Wordsworth was married to a Cookson from Penrith, it may be worth your while to scan the listings yourself as there is a lot of information, to much to transfer to here, hope this helps a bit best regards StericoO0

Thank you. I have seen some of these sites, but none that give me information of parentage for William Cookson. I know of the link to William Wordsworth, and that line is an interesting one in itself
I will just keep trawling the search engines i suppose.

Regards
Jackie
