cooke family herefordshire

[homer46]

i am trying to find any connection between 2 cooke familys in herefordshire

wilfred cooke son of thomas and matilda of the floodgates kington herefordshire

and the cooke familys around eye, leysters, leominsters, middleton on the hill, herefordshire. these familys go back to james cooke 1781-1861 and susannah cooper 1788- 1854

any help would be great--homer

You don't give any dates for Wilfred?

Have you followed the families through the censuses?

All I can see at the moment is a birth registration in Kington Dec quarter 1894 for a Wilfred Sidney g cook.  (No e).

He may be the Wilfred cooke in Kington in 1911, grandson , aged 16 born floodgates but I cannot see him in 1901, so cannot connect him toThomas and Matilda

Some more info would be useful

Hi in 1901 he looks to be the Wilfred S G Cook aged 7

Familysearch has moved Kington into wales  , my first thought was that Jane and James were his parents.

thats interesting seeing the name as cook, i gather the cookes of leominster etc were sometimes entered in census's in the same fashion, but i would guess thats how the collector saw cook being written.

again i cannot see at this stage any family tie to the cookes of leominster etc

wilfred cooke died at gallipoli in 1915, on the cwgw web site he is stated as the son of james and matilda cooke, of the floodgates kington, herefordshire. he may have been born in 1894, his middle name may be sydney. so far i am unable to tie this cooke family back to the cookes of leominster etc
