  6. Ernest Cobley,

    b. 1884, Cotes de Val. Gilmorton, Leicestershire
    (St. Catherine's House Index : 2Q/Lutterworth/7a/page 7)
    baptised. 5 July 1885, All Saints, Dunton Bassett, Leicestershire

    Ernest is a bit of a puzzle. His baptism entry in the Parish Register of Dunton Bassett has his parents being William & Mary Ann Cobley, whilst the census entry of 1891 has him being the son of William & Maria Cobley. If Mary Ann was the true mother, then she would have given birth to Ernest at the age of 51!
