This site is intended for all those who have an interest in the name of Cobley.

Originally aimed at sharing information on the Cobleys of Cheshire, and Leicestershire, I have now extended its remit to publishing information on Cobleys worldwide.

I am currently in the process of adding Cobley family trees to the "other cobley families" section of the site and I am eager to include more. I am particularly keen to show families from the counties surrounding Leicestershire as, apart from Devon, this is the main Cobley hunting ground in England. Of course any Cobley family from anywhere in the world is welcome to be included and I would be pleased to do so in order to help further research and bring people closer together.

Whatever your reason for visiting the site, I hope that you will find it interesting, choose to visit again, and contibute some small thing.
