Following up on your information from years ago !!
Do you have access to 1851 - 1861 1871 census ?
these two from 1841 census Newhall Farm, Babbs Green.
Thomas Cook Head 23 Ag Lab Bn. Standon b circa 1818
Maria Cook Wife 23 Ware.
Were still at New Hall Farm 50 years later
Census 1891 New Hall Green No.2.
COOK Thomas 64 Gardener(Em'ee) Hertfordshire - Standon
COOK Maria 63 Hertfordshire - New Hall Green
BUT were there children in the intervening years ?
I cant actually link them to my Cooks for certain yet as there seem to be numerous families of Cooks around that area. I do have a Thomas Cook son of John & Frances but the dates dont work
THOMAS COOK christening: 26 Dec 1790 FLAMSTEAD.
I am also curious about the John Cook and Frances Howe marriage in 1790that you so kindly sent me . I cant find it on the Hert excellent website -
https://www.hertsdirect.org/ufs/ufsmain?ebz=4_1403442724607&ebd=0 plus there are other John Cook & Frances marriages which fit better . 1st child
JOHN COOK christening: 30 August 1789 FLAMSTEAD,
John Cook M Frances Humpreys at Wheathampstead 4 Mar 1783
(Wheathampstead is in the City and District of St Albans, in the Hitchin and Harpenden parliamentary constituency.)
John Cook M Frances Parrat in Great Gaddesden 8 May 1789 ( This seems a more likely choice given the birth dates for the children . Great Gaddesden is north of Hemel Hempstead. The parish borders to Flamstead, Hemel Hempstead, Nettleden and Little Gaddesden and also to Studham in Bedfordshire.)
