1"Patricia Barton (Nee Lester)". Text From Source: Rosanna's birth certificate shows
dob 13/03/1840
mother Sarah Cockayne - formerly Dukes

armed with this infomration I have traced their marriage through IGI as:
Thomas Cockayne (Cookayne)
married Sarah Dukes
22/07/1830
at St Martins
Birmingham

and Sarah Dukes christened 5/07/1802 at Saint Phillips, Birmingham
father Robert Dukes mother Elizabeth
The marriage is almost certainly our couple and the date of birth for Sarah ties in with the census information, so I think it almost 100% certain that she was born in Birmingham and married there and then moved to Bloxwich, though the information on the census states born in Pelsall.

There was also an Edward Lester born 1838 who died of a fever 12/11/1860 death informed by Edward Lester father
Rosanna Lester (Cockayne) died 15/02/1907 from pneumonia death informed by C.E. Lester - son So he was alive though not at the same address as Thirza in 1901 - I'll have a search through 1901 census to see if I can find him, though I have newspaper cuttings from 1900 about soldiers away at the war, so he MAY have been enlisted!
