Hello Readers!
This is the story of my 10x great-grandparents, I hope you enjoy reading!!!
I’ll start with my 10x great grandfather, Thomas Okell.
The oldest son, Thomas was born on June 6, 1615 in Daresbury, Cheshire, England to John Okell (age 20) and Elizabeth Baxter (age 23). Thomas Okell’s parents had 4 children (including Thomas) from 1615 to 1635.
On September 24, 1633 Thomas Okell married his love Catherine Willis in Daresbury, Cheshire, England when Thomas was 18 and Catherine was 18 years old as well.
During their 82 years of marriage they had 2 children:
Thomas Okell (1635-1735) *9th great grandfather*
Elizabeth Okell (1655-1684)
Thomas Okell died in 1715 at the age of 100 in Daresbury, Cheshire, England, and is buried there.
Here is the story of my 10x great grandmother, Catherine Willis:
Catherine was born in 1615 in Cheshire, England to John Arthur Willis (age 60 years old) and Catherine Hockings (age 60 as well). See above for marriage information and how many children Thomas Okell and Catherine had.
Catherine did have an older brother, John Willis (1610-1655). So it’s obvious that Catherine’s parents (John Arthur and Catherine) had two children between the years of 1610 and 1615.
Catherine passed away a year after Thomas, in 1716 in Daresbury, Cheshire, England when she was 101 years old.

Great job Jennifer! Am wondering if you found any lost any children? Not noted in your writeup of any. We had several born and died in between census and without any documentation only my father’s knowledge from his father. Blessings always Robbie

Robbie, the only small children who died in infancy (if that is what you are referring to) are listed in my previous post 9X great grandparents. I believe they lost a child when he was less than a year old. Great question!!
