Coker Family in Essex

[hallsenna]

Hello all
Having got hooked on finding out more about my forbears I am now in the process of tracing my family tree. The family name is Coker and I have traced it back to a John Coker of Orsett in Essex in the mid-1800's. Any assistance gratefully received.

HI,

We can go back further with John Coker -is that what you would like??

Suz

[hallsenna]

yes, please. I know my grandfather, Robert George Coker (1918 to 2007), told me his grandmother's name was Fanny so figured these had to be the family. Cokers were in Orsett until 1983 when my great-grandmother Ellen died and the remainder were either in Grays or overseas. Any assistance to go further back would be great.
