Origin

The description in the Samuel Cocking garden in Japan says he moved from Ireland to Australia before growing up in Japan. I'm not sure why they'd say that if there wasn't some basis in truth. Did he come from an Irish family in London, perhaps (though it doesn't really sound like an Irish name)? 2400:2200:537:561A:E632:5D46:1FF2:A719 (talk) 09:40, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'd also be interested to know where the Ireland in early edits of the page and new edit in 2023 came from. This article says he was born in England, and links to an article that mentions his birth cert. https://www.academia.edu/281883/Samuel_Cocking_and_the_Rise_of_Japanese_Photography
