Biography

Elizabeth was baptised at March, Cambridgeshire, England in 1779. She is the daughter of Elizabeth and May Coward.[1] She married Isaac Cotterill in Elm, Cambridgeshire in 1802.[2][3] They had three children together, Mary (1804, Sutton St James, Lincolnshire),[4][5][6] [7][8] John (1809, Fleet, Lincolnshire).[9][10][11] and Sarah (1815, Sutton St James).[12][13][14] Elizabeth's mother Elizabeth had passed away in March, Cambridgeshire in 1808.[15][16] Her husband Isaac passed away in 1814 at age 44.[17] As a widow,[18] Elizabeth married single man Joseph Cocker in 1815.[19][20] Their daughter Eliza was baptised in 1816 at Sutton St James,[21][22][23][24] followed by their other children: Joseph (1817, Sutton St James)[25][26][27][28][29] who passed away the same year,[30][31] Frances (1819, Sutton St James), [32][33][34][35] and Joseph (1822, Fleet).[36][37] Elizabeth herself passed away at Fleet in 1832 at the age of 53.[38]

Research Notes

  • No March, Cambridgeshire records currently at FreeReg, as at 5 Feb 2023; 1804 child Mary baptism found Sutton St James, but not marriage record Elm in 1802.
  • Lots of Cowards in Chatteris, Cambridgeshire, not that far from March, Cambridgeshire
  • Why such big gaps between children in her first marriage: a five-year gap between child 1 and 2, and a six-year gap between child 2 and 3?

an mtDNA match suggests she may have a sister/cousin/remote cousin Mary; further research:

[image of original available: "May 12, Esther D.r [daughter] of William and Mary Betts late Coward spinster"
  • Also, on the same page of Elisabeth Cowherd's 1808 burial record in March, Cambridgeshire is the record of a Henry Betts son of William and Mary Betts baptised in 1808 at March, Cambridgeshire.
  • Of interest is a record of an Elizabeth Coward who was buried in Wisbech, St Peter in 1758. "England Deaths and Burials, 1538-1991", database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JC3D-XPG : 14 March 2020), Elizabeth Coward, 1758. Perhaps an inlaw? (widowed so not her married name)
  • Guylott Cowherd (Farmer) passed away in March, Cambridgeshire in 1802
