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
Neil when I see an " about " marriage for 1833 Miserton on IGI it says others have looked before with no success in looking at time period could not find marriages for his likely brothers or cousins William and George so maybe they all married elsewhere anyone have a guess where Walcote persons married? 1841 census seems to show wife and son Charles 8 not born in county may or may not be accurate 1851 census gives alternate birth place for John which maybe was to be on the wifes line again just an observation to keep in mind jim On 24-Jan-12, at 10:04 AM, Neil Grantham wrote: > 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 > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > [email protected] with the word > 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the > message
