Robert Cooke, Huntingdon
« on: Sunday 06 April 08 17:05 BST (UK) »
Hi - my 3x grt grandfather Robert Cooke was born in Huntingdon about 1803 according to the 1851 census,  he married Mary Ann Ashby in 1826 in Huntingdon and died in 1852,  he was a woolen mercer & linen draper.  I would love to find who his parents were so I could go back another generation

Hi Debbie

There's a Robert Cooke baptised at Huntingdon All Saints and St John on 3 Aug 1803, parents William and Anne (BVRI)

There's a marriage in the same parish in 1802 between William Cooke and Ann Harratt both otp.

Ohhh - thank you so much for that David - that looks good,  do you have any suggestions on how I might find out Williams occupation?  I think Robert had a fairly substantial shop,  it would be very interesting to find what his father did

Hunts FHS doesn't have a transcription for sale, but the register has been filmed by the LDS so that seems to be your best bet - your nearest LDS Family History Centre where you can order and view the microfilm. Unless of course Huntingdon Records Office is closer.

There are quite a few references to Robert on A2A at Cambridgeshire County Records Office-Huntingdon
