COSSEY and ROBINSON Genealogy
Claudia's maternal 4-times-great (4G) grandparents Samuel ROBINSON (c1751-1810) and Mary COSSEY (1762-1826) were married 5 Nov 1789 in St Andrew Church, Claxton, Norfolk and died in Holton St Peter, Suffolk England. Their descendants connect in more recent times to my maternal COMPTON and COATES ancestors who married in Prince Edward Island, Canada. There are plenty of name changes in this descent due to a predominance of female side connections.

COSSEY
The COSSEY name enters my direct line with the above Mary COSSEY. Her father's line has now been traced back a few more generations:
