Hi Carolyn,
Thank you very much for answering my query.
I already have the census information for Scotland and New Jersey, but thank you all the same. I am sure that the John Cocker who died in 1981 is him, as his birth date, which I downloaded from the "scotlandspeople" web site also shows him as being born Feb. 22, 1891.
I have considered buying a copy of his death record, but I would like to know what kind of information is available on this record before I spent the money.
I have a photo of his gravestone, which tells me he was
a sergeant in the U.S. army, but I don't know for how long he was in the service.
The census information is all that I have on the rest of the family since they immigrated to the U.S and I am stuck on how to proceed any further.
Any suggestions would be really appreciated?
Thanks again for your help.
John Smith
