Brislington approx 1815 COOKE

[johnsmith27]

I am looking for the children of Joseph Cooke and Susannah Hurle. I know one was Joseph Cooke born in Brislington in 1814 and the 1851 census shows a Joseph Cooke with sisters Charlotte, Caroline and Ellen living in Brislington of the correct age. I would like to confirm that these people were the correct descendants and also find any information of the predecessors of Joseph Cooke and Susannah Hurle.

Joseph Cook 25 merchant yes
Ellen 15 ind yes
Joseph Cox 3 no
plus 4 F.S. & 1 M.S.

1851 shows Susan Cox neice 15 b beaminster with Joseph and sisters
so probably Joseph Cox from 1841 was their nephew

Possiblythey are the children of George & Susan Cox - maybe Susan's maiden name was Cooke/Cook???

Hi again

I have found another marriage on Family Search and Ancestry between a Joseph Cooke and Susannah Hurle on May 2nd 1805 in Clifton Gloucestershire. I think I will have to try and get the origional certificates to see which one is the correct marriage. Thank you for the information

[suzard]

You cannot get certificates before reg began Sept qtr 1837 -you have to rely on parish registers.

I haven't checked the IGI entries but the most trustworthy ones are the extracted ones - if an IGI entry is "member submitted" only use it to research further - sometimes the records are correct -but very often they are not -sometimes they are nothing more than a guess based on census info etc

Joseph COOKE, Burial 10 September 1834, Brislington, St Luke, Somersetshire
Age 51
(born c 1783)
(Source Familysearch.Org)

How sweet 4 Sisters together in 1881,  Unmarried Charlotte 74, Caroline 71, Ellen 67 + Widowed Sister Mary A Plummer 82

I found it interesting that in 1861 Joseph Cooke seems to be under Merle.
Caroline is down as Sister.
1871 he is under Joseph E Harle, born c 1814, Brislington, image is Joseph C Hurle.
Did he Inherit from the Hurles and change his name to keep the Line going?
1901 Florence Hurle (nee FORBES), Josephs Wife and Daug Susannah c 1861 are Visiting 84yr old Charlotte Cooke.
She lived to a great age!
1871 they are under Hurte.
You must have had fun researching Joseph!

Familysearch.Org also has Susannah HURLE, Christened 16 June 1782, Stourton, Wiltshire to HENRY/MARY
(Extracted Record)
Henry HURLE did Married Mary BOWLES, 1779, Wiltshire

I came across in a chest which had details of our family a paper  written in 1984 giving details of those present at the marriage of Joseph Cooke-Hurle and Miss Lilian Thomas on February 9 1886. The father of the bride, Joseph Cooke-Hurle,was the son of Joseph Cooke and Susannah Hurle and had assumed the name of Cooke-Hurle by Royal Licence in 1855 when under the will of his uncle John Hurle he had inherited the family estates in Brislington Hill.

There was present also three miss Cookes who were maiden aunts, miss Charlotte, miss Caroline and Miss Ellen who lived at 13 oakfield Road, Clifton.

This paper gives many other people who were there and relatives of the bride and groom. I will try and get the origional documents which one of my relations may have.

Joseph Cooke-Hurle who married Lilian Thomas had a second marriage to Norah Fry of the chocolate family.  She has a department at Bristol University is named after her.
