Hi All
I haven't been posted for two years but very happy to say that I have found so much info on my Coote Family.
Would love to know if there are any Coote's who live in Radwinter who would like to chat.

Just realized I missed a letter in my new email address. Maybe I wasn't supposed to make my email address known. If this is so then I do apologize, but couldn't find a way of changing it.

John, best youremove from public view all email addresses... do it right now lest you get spam and other unwanted stuff.
Don't know how you'd alter your email address for RC privately unless there is a place on your profile to do that.
Sorry not to be more helpful.

Hullo again... think I've got the answer for you.
Go to your profile... that is, click on the little face that is under your avatar on LHS of any of your posts. Then when you get to your profile, click on the one again on lhs of page that is called members profile settings...or words to that effect. Thereshould be your old email address which you can alter.
You'll haveto use your RC password to alter things.
clear as mud? ::)

Hi Big John,
I don't live in Radwinter but I do have in my tree two Coote families who lived in Radwinter.
Henry & Elizabeth Coote who had 11 (known) children all baptised in Radwinter 1665 to 1681.
William & Elizabeth Coote who had 5 (known) children all baptised in Radwinter 1701 to 1707.
The two generations in my Coote line following those two couples lived and raised families in Shalford.
Ring any bells?
Regards.

Hi findem
Re Coote's of Radwinter - I haven't gotten back that far as yet, still in the 1800's but will contact you if & when I do. Shalford does not ring a bell at the moment.

Hi Big John,
OK, good luck with your research.

I hope I am not hi-jacking this thread but I am looking for information on Elizabeth Coote b. 1796 likely in Radwinter. She had a brother William b 1790 Radwinter.
She married John Reynolds at Royston 26 May 1825 and died of Typhoid at Royston in 1841.
Can anyone help with details of her parents please?
Thanks in advance
Steve

According to the Radwinter History site available at www.radwinterhistory.org.uk/radwinter/radwinterlocalhistory which has a transcription of the registers, an Elizabeth Coot was baptised in Radwinter 25 Jan.1795, the daughter of a Peter and Fanny. You say that she had a brother born in Radwinter 1790, there is a baptism 10 Jan. 1790 for a William son of James and Mary, however there was also a baptism 24 Feb.1793, of a William son of Peter and Fanny.
There is though a burial, 10 Jan.1790, for Elizabeth Coot d. of Peter and Fanny, no age given but probably the one baptised.
Eliminating Peter and Fanny as parents you are left with James and Mary, although there are several other possible Coot parents of child bearing age around at that time. There was a marriage James Coot and Mary Tiser, in Radwinter 28 Oct 1788.

Looks like John Reynolds in 1851, living with a married sister.
Piece: 1707 Folio: 426 Page Number: 15
Unfortunately no Coote family members with them to help with the puzzle.
Interesting that POB has differentiated the two halves of Royston, north of the old A505 in Cambs and south in Herts.

Banns read Royston 8th, 15th and 22nd May, John of parish of Royston and Elizabeth of parish of Roxton (county of Huntingdon) now Beds.
Perhaps her parents moved after having William in Radwinter.
-
A John Reynolds of Royston, carrier, went bankrupt in 1832. might be same person

1841 in Thersfield, Hertfordshire;
John Reynolds, 39, Ag Lab

George Reynolds, 13
Hannah, 9
Zephaniah Reynolds, 6
Edward Reynolds, 3
All children plus Mary (who is with her aunt Hannah Cooke in George Lane, Royston in 1841) were baptised in Royston New Meeting house on 13 June 1837, Oddly the record gives mother's name as Mary

.
Actual record looks more like Tysor, Mary made her mark, as did James Coot. One witness Henery Tysor signed, second witness James Livermore made his mark. James Livermore may be connected to my OH's family.
The other William Coote s/o Peter and Fanny may be this one.
1841 census
Piece: 328 Book: 24 Folio:45 Page Number: 13
Later censuses have his birth abt 1785 Radwinter
He made a voluntary settlement declaration abt 1813, just after he married and had first child, John, but didn't name his father.
added
no, age seems wrong closer to age of William s/o William and Mary

Thanks to all (especially LizzieL) who have contributed to this.
I based my theory that Elizabeth had a brother born in Radwinter from the 1851 census where Edward Coote Reynolds is shown as Nephew to William aged 61 born Radwinter. I know these relationships are not always accurate but that is all I had to go on at the time. I made the error of assuming that Roxton was a mis-transcription of Royston which threw me off the trail for a while and should have known better really as I know the Banns were read in Royston but there was no record of the marriage there.
I'd think I am safe in assuming that James and Mary were Elizabeth's parents although I will double check as there were also Cootes in and around Roxton, so I should eliminate that possibility before I add them to the tree.
Thanks again to everyone, I am going to look for information on John Reynolds now to see what I can find of his family.
Thanks again to everyone.
