Hi All Karen asked "Thomas Cocker and Ellena England married 11 Oct 1614 in Ilkeston - if possible I would like the names of their children please" Your reference at the Derbyshire County Record Office at Matlock may be as follows: MATLOCK R.O. REF. D.3082. A.P.1. 1/1. Large size register, fair / poor condition. I have viewed the register direct. BAPTISM'S, MARRIAGES and BURIALS 1588 to 1695/6 incl. I cannot help you re COCKER pre 1700, but I can tell you the register for the period you are seeking, the entries are in Latin, albeit reasonably easy to follow with patience. Nowadays you will most likely not be able to view the registers direct, but I'm sure the staff at Matlock will as always prove helpful. I did note a COCKER child burial in June 1707. My research re Ilkeston St. Marys pre 1700 is solely on my RICHARDS research and there does not appear to be any connection with your COCKER research. Regards Jack Richards

Hi Karen, You can order a film for Ilkeston from www.familysearch.org - you need to go into the 'Catalog' and type in Ilkeston into Place Name, this will then show you all filmed records for Ilkeston, if you scroll down to Church Records (14) and then check this you will see what is available for your time period - I have copied details of a Parish Register Film for you - Film Notes Note Location Film/DGS "General registers" containing: Baptisms, marriages and burials 1588-1669 ("Defective 1670-1679" with only parts of 1676/7 and 1678/9.) Baptisms, marriages and burials 1680-1750 Baptisms and burials only 1750-1785 Family History Library BRITISH Film <https://familysearch.org/films/lookup/product/view/?id=1&film=1752153>1752153 Items 10 - 14 You need to set up an account with familysearch - you can pay by credit card or PayPal. In Australia we pay $7.75 for each film. I have been using the LDS films for 27 years, it is amazing what is available. If a family stayed in one place for many years you can find a few generations of families. When a film has been ordered it is sent to your local LDS Family History Centre for you to view, you have about a month to check the film, photocopies are available of any records you need. After you have finished with the film it is then sent back to Salt Lake City. I hope this is of help, viewing films of the original registers is quite wonderful and after Wills they are the Primary Records. It is great to find records on the net but the originals do need to be checked.
