Cookie I managed to scour the 1861 for Oakington and Longstanton, but they are both devoid of COOK names. Can you let me know if anyone has yet managed Cottenham (the biggest) and if no one has, then I will attempt over the next few days. It would be useful to know where they were on the 1871 census, which would give a starting point.

If possible, could SKS look up in the 1861-1871 censuses the family of William and Martha COOK, in Cottenham, Oakington, or Longstanton. He was born ca. 1797 (+ or -), in Bedfordshire. I send my thanks and gratitude in advance. Cookie, Florida, USA << GreystokeB@aol.com >> ==== ENG-CAMBRIDGESHIRE Mailing List ==== .
