Earliest records of Cockayne & Henry Macdonald Cockayne 1890s
Firstly, I'm trying to get hold of the very earliest records of the name... eventially it would be great to trace all the way to present.
Has anyone found anything earlier than William Cockayne? (married to Elisabeth Metcalf & father of William Cockayne b1561, then to become Lord Mayor of London in 1619)
Where did the name come from?
Secondly, my father was Alan Henry Cockayne (an only child, born Sevenoaks, 1925) his father was Henry Macdonald Cockayne, b. 1890s, goodness knows where...I'd love to know if my grandfather had family, who he married, what his lineage is.This ring any bells to anyone in the forum?
