Hi there,

I am looking for any information on the Cookson's of Penrith. Their lives, occupations, etc.
In particular the family of William Cookson who married to Dorothy Fothergill in 1693.

Regards
Jackie

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
