Both were born Winfrith, Dorset. There is no Samuel baptised in East Stoke church in 1854. Winifred WILTON née COBB often spoke of a Samuel. Was the name interchangeable?

Given that Amos Samuel COBB used the name Amos from his arrival in Canada in 1882 until at least the 1901 Census it would seem probable that these references to a Samuel COBB refer to another person.
