I will take a look at what you've given me, and see what else might be useful.
John's son Thomas, moved on to Birmingham, but we'd quite like to fill out the families of other Cooks if possible.

Seems the Clerking of the Parish passed from Father to son. In the 1851/61 censuses, John is also the Parish Clerk - 1861 he was Parish Clerk/Gardener, but 1871 just Gardener.

All I can say is WOW!!! :D

Thanks you very much!
A couple of odd entries
Baptism of Joseph with no parents named - frustrating for this line as it looks like John's father's baptism. As it is surrounded by other children with parents Thomas and Mary, one wonders if they are also his parents.

Then there is Lucy 1808 daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth. I wonder if that was mis-transcribed! and should be Elizabeth, d/o Joseph and Lucy!!

Anyway, it's all brilliant, and plenty for us to ruminate on!

Another question or two:
When does the baptism register go up to?
There are still Cook's in Walcote in the 1911 census, with young children.
Could they perhaps be baptised at another location? IE did Misterton stop being their 'local' at some point?

Yours gratefully,
Neil  :)

Thank you Mike

Any indication of how 'prolific' the Cook name is in the registers?

Through a pretty stupid geographical error I have found myself the proud possessor of a PDF with the parish records of Misterton Leicestershire from 1558-1910.  I am happy to do lookups for any with relies in this village so that my expensive mistake can be put to some use.

Hi Sarenid

Tracing my wife's Cook family, and we found them in Walcote, Leicestershire, on the Censuses, which I believe is served by Misterton registers.
Would appreciate a lookup. We've no idea how prolific Cook is in this locality or how far back.
The earliest Cook we found was John Cook, who shows on the Censuses as born about 1812, possibly son of Joseph and Lucy Cook

Thanks
Neil

Hi Nell,
Sorry must have been my typing I was so surprised to find yet another pub I'm well over 40! now not bad for a TT family ;D of course you are right Elizabeth is Inn Keeper in 1891;D I've got 1891 on all my records. Have you seen what I have written on our site look under occupations- publicans oxford publicans I'd love to know any more of the pubs history if you would share Please contact me through the site :)

I'll take a look, I presume you mean the link in your signature - just tried it and it's not loading.

Forgot to say, I came here and stumbled across your post, whilst looking for reference to the Britannia which is now the Jolly Boatman, just up the road towards Kidlington.

Would anyone know when it changed names, or any history of it? I was contacted by someone who's family ran it.
I made mention of it whilst posting elsewhere about the Three Horse Shoes, as they were both on an old map of Thrupp I have seen at www.old-maps.co.uk

Oh Dear I've just found another one!!!
Elizabeth ELLARD widow of Thomas ELLARD was Inn Keeper of The Three Horse Shoes Banbury Rd Kidlington in 1881 any ideas about this one?

Getting boozier by the minute!

Hi 'Trees'
Thought you might like to know I have some interest in the 3 Horse Shoes, Thrupp too.
There was William and Ann Hambridge, who are in a photo you may have seen of the Inn in the Kidlington books quoted here.
They were the previous landlords to the Ellards I think, and were there afterwards too, until it closed following Williams death.
I think you are wrong about the 1881 census, as Ann Hambridge is shown as Inn Keepers wife, Three Horse Shoes, Thrupp. William was on his boat.

I also happen to know the current owner of the property! He's aware of it's history and has a copy of the William and Ann Hambridge picture

Cheers
Neil
