Hi,
I can't help with a look up for the 1951 marriage, however this information could be of interest to you -
John G S Coaker birth record -
John G S Coaker
Mother's Maiden Surname - Willcocks
Date of Registration - Jul-Aug-Sep 1923
Registration district - Tavistock
Inferred County - Devon
Vol 5b Page No 536
Marriage of his parents -
Francis R Coaker
Spouse Mildred T I Willcocks
Date of Registration - Apr-May-Jun 1922
Registration district - Tavistock
Inferred County - Devon
Vol 5b Page No 881
There is also the above marriage in the name of George F R Coaker.
However on their gravestone the name is Francis Richard Coaker b.1883, Mildred b. 1902 is buried with him.

I can only see a birth record in 1883 for a George Francis R Coaker (no Francis R Coaker). Perhaps his preferred name was Francis/Frank as per various census. In 1891 Francis is living on Sherberton Farm which ties in with the name on his grave stone.
Hopefully someone may be able to do a look up for you to confirm these details or you may need to purchase the marriage cert.

George Francis Richard Coaker's name appears on Richard Coaker's probate record.

Well thank you,that will help a lot,it was the puzzle of Johns Parents that was the problem and I can now put the tree right,it is always a puzzle when people change their name,to make matters worse Francis or George was known as Frank, ;D

Look like a 'Coaker' is still associated with Serberton Farm.
