        Chrissie,

        Born about 1861 according to his death record, but I still can't find a birth or baptism, not as William J anyway.

          Chrissie think this may be him??? somebody on Ancestry says its mistranscribed, and he is born in Keighley according to census records.

                  Just out of interest ..........

                  I checked Freebmd for William James Cobbing, and looked at the scan

                  The image shows the entry was typed and it is Cobbing, so the mistranscription must have taken place between the Registry Office and GRO ........ or the Registrar misheard it at the time of registration and the parents couldn't read.

                  You'd have to buy the birth certificate to be certain ......... ÂŁ6 for a PDF by email from GRO

                    Val, there has been a previous thread about this man and it does look like he emigrated if it's the same man, but if so, how come he died in the UK?

                            Right, so he may or may not have emigrated with Frances but he remarried in the uk to Margaret Train. What is his condition on that marriage cert, single, widower, divorced?
