During
the past six months or so, considerable research has
been carried out on Lt Charles Cobbe RN and his family.
This includes further work at the PRO and visits to
Market Bosworth, Mears Ashby, Little Marlow, Great Marlow,
Bisham and Bradenham. It is hoped that within the next
month or so there will be a significant update to this
website. Unfortunately, it has not as yet, been possible
to determine the location, date and circumstances of
his death in 1798.
Contact
with anyone having connections to the Cobbe, Burslem,
Oldershaw and Tylecoat families would be most welcome.
Dave Tylcoat of Cottage Pine, Devon a distant cousin
of the wife of the writer, has been most helpful with
the Tylecote connections.
