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

Hi, we have something that may interest you that has turned up in Cornwall!  It is a Conveyance dated 11th October 1828 of three cottages in the town of Huntingdon with merger of the residue of a term of 500 years and Covenant to produce Deeds.  It is from the Devisees in trust of the late Mr. Bardolph Bull deceased to Mr. Robert Cooke and his trustees.  This is all hand written and on proper parchment and in absolutely excellent condition.  Your Robert Cooke is described as "of Huntingdon, Draper".  Just doing some research on all the people mentioned in it and came across your posts!  (*) is my email address if you want any more info.
