I am trying to find more information on the Cozens family.

I know:

George Pike Cozens Born C1836 Married Emma Trodd Born C1839

Elizabeth Cozens Born C1830 Married, in 1855, Thomas Parker Born C1826

I am told by my Mother that George and Elizabeth were Brother and Sister they lived in Weston, Hampshire now part of Southampton, Civil Parish St Marys Extra

Many Thanks

Hi,

I have finally managed to connect James Cozens into my family tree and found the family in the 1851 Census

1851 Census Elizabeth Parker

Elizabeth Parker Head Widow 82 Weston Hants
Priscilla Cozens Daur Mar 43 Fishermans Wife Weston Hants
Mary Ann Collis Daur Mar 46 Fishermans Wife Weston Hants
James Cozens Son in law Mar 48 Fisherman Weston Hants
James Cozens Grandson un 18 Fisherman Weston Hants
Jane Cozens Granddaur un 16 Servant Weston Hants
Priscilla Cozens Granddaur 13 Servant Weston Hants
Samual Cozens Grandson 11 Scholar Weston Hants
Louisa Cozens Granddaur 9 Scholar Weston Hants
Daniel Cozens Grandson 4 Scholar Weston Hants
George Cozens Grandson 2 Weston Hants

James is the brother of William Cozens who is the father of George Cozens.

I Still have to find out where Harriet fits into the family but I am sure that she is related somewhere.

I Now have to find out about Elizabeth Parker and if she is related to the other Parkers in my tree which appears likely as Weston is (wasn't) a large community.

Oh well more work to do!

Hi I was going through the records of Pear Tree church

James & Priscilla Cozens Christenings

Pear Tree Records Book 2

1825 I Jun Mary Anne d of James & Priscilla Cozens - Weston - Fisherman
1830 27 Jan Caroline d of James & Priscilia Cozens - Weston - Fisherman
1835 I Feb Jane d of James & Priscilla Cozens - Weston - Fisherman
1837 11 Jun Priscilla d of James & Priscilla Cozens - Weston - Fisherman

and found these christenings

Interesting that there are only christenings for the girls of the family listed.

I also didn't have Caroline on my tree so she I expect died prior to the 1841 Census.
