John cook born 11th march 1811, broughton beds, married elizaberh warr born  1808 ,newport pagnall beds,
did he have brothers/sisters, william 1798, ann 1801, rebecca 1802, thomas 1804 and joseph 1814,
and can anyone then confirm that there father is timothy cook born streatley beds 1770, and died oct 1843,who married rebecca mann , born 1775 bedfordshire,
thanks and look forward to your findings, as I am stuck.

Virtually all Beds baptisms pre 1813 are on the IGI at www.familysearch.org, so this is something that can be checked yourself. At least you could if Broughton was in Beds, but it's in Bucks. So's Newport Pagnell. In fact Broughton, Bucks baptisms up to 1813 are also on the IGI

Timothy and Rebecca Cook baptised a number of children, including most of the names you mention, in Harlington, which is in Bedfordshire. A member submission on the IGI shows the marriage as being in Harlington on 3 Feb 1795

The IGI, extracted, so reliable, also has a baptism on 13 Jun 1772 at Toddington of Timothy Cook. Toddington adjoins Harlington. That Timothy Cook was a shopkeeper in Streatley in 1841 doesn't mean he was born there. He was still living in Harlington in 1817 when he was committed to Bedford Gaol - http://apps.bedfordshire.gov.uk/grd/detail.aspx?id=1796

That's not stuck!
