Cooksey Family--canal people.

Hi very late joining this. My Great Grandmother was Edith Hannah Cooksey, siblings were many as her Dad Benjamin Cooksey married twice. This is the Benjamin that others have listed as marrying Catherine Orme, however he also married Annie Elizabeth Cooper also known as Bennett from a previous marriage and took on her Children too so he is hard to trace. 1883 they were in Brauston but by 1885 they were living in California Cottages in Stockton/Broadwell in Warwickshire. Edith Hannah married Frank Marsh (my great Granddad). The image attached is Edith.
There was actually a 3rd marriage which I had missed.
