Hi Ingrid; Do you have a name for anyone else in the family? I had a look but there was no Joshua. Sorry! There were plenty of Cockcrofts but not that one. Perhaps if you had another family members name it would make it easier to trace the family. Perhaps Joshua was visiting that night or working away from the area? Sonja

Researching:
Rotherham - Watson, Foster, Priest, Millsen. Huntingdonshire - Smith, Carter (Woodhurst, Oldfield)

I checked the 1881 census, and all the Joshua Cockrofts come from Yorkshire, but Clayton is not mentioned. Here are the results of the search: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Census - 1881 British Census 10. Joshua COCKROFT - 1881 British Census / Lancashire Lodger Gender: Male Birth: <1853> Bradford, York, England 11. Josha. COCKCROFT - 1881 British Census / York Son Gender: Male Birth: <1856> Southowram, York, England 12. Joshua COCKROFT - 1881 British Census / York Head Gender: Male Birth: <1821> Halifax, York, England 13. Joshua COCKROFT - 1881 British Census / York Son Gender: Male Birth: <1874> Thornton, York, England 14. Joshua COCKROFT - 1881 British Census / York Head Gender: Male Birth: <1849> Halifax, York, England 15. Joshua COCKROFT - 1881 British Census / York Son Gender: Male Birth: <1845> Bradford, York, England Do any of them look likely? Unless you give some indication of when he was born, its very difficult to find the right one. Jan.
