Hi Neil Walcote is just outside Misterton and is the most likely venue for a marriage but there are others Parloc gives the following in a 2 mile radius of Misterton Bitteswell P LEI ENG SP5385 1.8 North West Cotesbach P LEI ENG SP5382 1.4 West by South West Lutterworth P LEI ENG SP5484 0.9 North West Misterton P LEI ENG SP5583 0.0 Shawell P LEI ENG SP5480 2.0 South by South West Westrill P LEI ENG SP5784 1.4 East by North East But they could have used another Parish further afield, especially if they were expecting a happy event :-) I can find your John COOK in 1871 & 1881 born 1812 Walcote Leicestershire but can't see him / them in 1841 / 1851 / 1861 I can find one born Waltham but not Walcote Do you have the refs for him Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) Hello all I am helping my wife research her COOK roots, and the Censuses have led us to find a large cluster of COOK's who are her ancestors in Walcote, Leicestershire. I think I am correct in saying that this 'hamlet' (as described on one of the Censuses, though looking at it now it looks like a village) is served by Misterton for it's Baptisms, Marriages and Burials? If this is the case, we have gone back as far as the 1841 showing John COOK and Ann ??? In the Censuses, both are shown as born in Walcote, John approx 1812 and Ann approx 1807. I wondered if anyone has access to any Misterton registers and might confirm a marriage of this couple? Many thanks for any help and comments Neil
Hi Nivard He takes a bit of finding in all of these, as it is listed as Misterton. When you see the image it shows as 'Hamlet of Walcote' 1841 is HO107/599/5, pages 15/16 (those numbers show at the top) several different Cook families on these pages John is top of page 16. His birth equates to 1816 here with the 1841 'rounding'. Ancestry refers to this as Piece 595, Book 5, Folio 8, Page 16 1851 is also a bit of finding as he is listed as born at Harboro, Warwickshire (sic) (Ancestry) Page says HO107/2078 page 3 and 4 Ancestry says Piece 2078 Folio 415, page 3 1861 I found him by scrolling through the 17 pages of Walcote! Page says RG9/2247 (He is spelt Cooke!!) Ancestry reference Piece 2247, Folio 23, page 6 Neil ________________________________ From: Nivard Ovington <[email protected]> To: Neil Grantham <[email protected]>; [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, 25 January 2012, 22:54 Subject: Re: [LEI] Walcote/Misterton Hi Neil Walcote is just outside Misterton and is the most likely venue for a marriage but there are others Parloc gives the following in a 2 mile radius of Misterton Bitteswell P LEI ENG SP5385 1.8 North West Cotesbach P LEI ENG SP5382 1.4 West by South West Lutterworth P LEI ENG SP5484 0.9 North West Misterton P LEI ENG SP5583 0.0 Shawell P LEI ENG SP5480 2.0 South by South West Westrill P LEI ENG SP5784 1.4 East by North East But they could have used another Parish further afield, especially if they were expecting a happy event :-) I can find your John COOK in 1871 & 1881 born 1812 Walcote Leicestershire but can't see him / them in 1841 / 1851 / 1861 I can find one born Waltham but not Walcote Do you have the refs for him Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) Hello all I am helping my wife research her COOK roots, and the Censuses have led us to find a large cluster of COOK's who are her ancestors in Walcote, Leicestershire.
