Can't see a marriage yet for Joseph and Jane. But John Pearson Cook was born in Pocklington in 1767 along with two brothers Joseph 1765 and George 1770, maybe more siblings somewhere else. Joseph Cook senior possibly born in Pocklington too there is a birth in 1737 - son of William and Sarah.
Wonder if they are related to this guy
http://pocklingtonhistory.com/news/index.php#news139Well, the only marriage I can find is in Leicester in 1755 by licence - Joseph Cook & Jane Pearson. He was a soldier, both 21 on the licence, so probably older.
.
The only Pearsons in Leicestershire (if indeed this is where Jane was born) were Quakers. But I just feel possibly this birth is too early - 1722 given Joseph is likely the 1737 birth , there is no age on their burial records either ( Joseph 1802, Jane 1804)
