Hi
They don't seem to be in Dorset in 41. As they are in Middlesex by 51 I checked Surrey for you and found this family

Warren Farm, Wimbledon Common
John Coakes 60 Farmer
Uretta do 50
Mark do 25 Farmer
All born out of county
HO107/1069/5 Pg5

I checked the image for 1851 I'm not sure what the mother's name is but it isn't Ann and does appear to start with a U -   Uri   So the above could well be them. What do you think?

Hi Jan
     Don't think it's them if I give you the 1851 ref for them I think you will see what I mean all I have is HO 107/1472 and I think it says Christchurch and maybe it says parish of Childa?? the address was 5 Queens Road,Mark aged 36 his wife Elizabeth aged 33 and two sons Edward aged 3 and Alfred 9 months and visiting are John and Ann Coaker his parents aged 72 and 65 both Mark and his father say they were born Bere Regis so I thought it would be a good idea to find them in the 1841,thanks for trying for me.
Best Regards.

Hi
Yes that was the family I looked at in 51 - they are 5 Queens Rd West, Chelsea (Christ Church), Middlesex. I'm 99% sure it is Chelsea but can see it could look like Childa  and the Coaker actually looks more like Coakes the writing is bad   The mother's name still doesn't look like Ann to me though (there is an Ann further down page to compare with) and does appear to start with a U. Have you got access to the image yourself? If not PM me your email and I'll send it to you so you can have a look.

Cheers Jan

Hi Jan
         It looks as though I made a rare mistake I was at the London records and they have computers linked to Ancestry so as I had already finished what I was looking for I put in Coaker in the 1851 census,what you get is the page of the census but as you have seen this page unless you rumble that Childa is in fact Chelsea you would as I did think I had more Coakers in Dorset in 1851 hence the 1841 look up plea,I just hope the on line opc gets Bere Regis church records online soon or I will never know where this line ends up,thanks for the help.
Best Regards

Hi
I take it you have a Mark Coaker born Bere Regis, Dorset circa 1814 parents John and Ann but haven't located them on censuses?
I would hold the Chelsea 1851 and 1841 Surrey families on file as they still could be your family - Mark and parents were definitely born in Dorset in 51. Mark and John give their birthplaces as Berryius but I think this might be a case of a Middlesex enumerator doing the best he could with Bere Regis - either badly written or spoken in a broad Dorset accent As for mother not being Ann - she may have died and John remarried Uri/Uretta. All worth looking into. Do you have any other info on them eg were they a farmers?

Just found the same family in 1861 in Hayes Middlesex, birthplace for John and Mark is Bere Regis. John is listed as retired farmer, Mark a proprietor of houses, mother is definitely Uri born Kigston Dorset. Surname does look like Coakes though.

Hope you sort this one out

Hi Jan
  This Coaker line in Dorset has been a puzzle for some time ,the name is a Devon one and that county has had it's act together for some years,but until quiet recently Dorset had very little to offer somebody using the net,also the Dorset Coaker line were in London early around 1800 which makes for difficult searches,I have been putting the line together and I do have a spare John Coaker born around 1771 in Dorset which may fit John the father of Mark,but as you say it maybe Coakes but I get the feeling these people are Coakers,I will devout more time to this line to sort it out now Dorset has more info on line ,wish Gloustershire would copy Dorset,this Coaker line were at Marshfield for a few years,looks as if I will have to drag myself down there soon    thanks alot for your help
