Hi Sue Very much appreciate the help Particularly the burial as that does put a fresh twist on it, there is certainly scope for another Joseph but it would have been good to find a baptism for him All the birth years suggest 1791 or later which does tie in to a second Joseph I will see if I can find any more on the children you mention George appears to survive but moved away from Ticknall as did Joseph I found a Wm COOK as a tenant in Ticknall in 1798 along with a Thomas COOK Would you by any chance have the detail of the marriage? JOSEPH COOK Spouse: ELIZABETH BOULSTRIDGE Family Marriage: 26 JUN 1815 Ticknall, Derby, England M059001 1806 - 1812 0428946 Film 6903270 Film M059001 1813 - 1837 0498136 Film 6903270 Film I know its unlikely to add much if anything but just wondered in case the witnesses are related Thanks for the help, it is appreciated Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 06/12/2012 08:29, Sue Brown wrote: > > > Hello Nivard, > > There is only one baptism of a Joseph Cook in Ticknall at around that > time so you appear to have the right one, but there is a burial on > the 20th May 1790 for Joseph son of William & Ann Cook, pauper.
