Whaplode Drove - Abraham Cooke

[napmay]

Abraham Cooke married Elizabeth Phenix (nee Marshall) in Whaplode Drove in 1810. They appear on the 1841 census. Anyone with more information about the family, please?

Can you tell us if you already have all other available census info so we don't duplicate

Many thanks for your speedy reply.
I have traced the family back to Abraham and Elizabeth Cooke but cannot find any convincing information about their ancestors. Their son, Jacob, seems to have been running quite a large farm at Elm in the 1861 Census.
Their daughter, Elizabeth, married William Robinson at Whaplode Drove in 1832. I have traced their descendants and have the relevant Census information.
If you would like any of my information about Elizabeth's daughter Mary Robinson, John Castle, Mary Castle to the Terrell family, I'd be happy to share what I have. I am in the early stages of researching this family so have been searching for information online so far.
Any information on Abraham Cooke/ Elizabeth Phenix/Marshall's ancestors or on Whaplode Drove in the late 18th-early 19th century would be appreciated.
Thank you.

according to the Lincs marriage index for the area, Abraham cooke was also a widower:

PHENIX Elizabeth 27 Dec 1810 Lic/Both wid COOK Abraham Whaplode Drove

think this is Elizabeths first marriage:

PHENIX John 16 May 1805 MARSHALL Elizabeth Holbeach

this one Abrahams:

COOK Abraham 23 Oct 1795 Lic/Given as ROBERTSON signs
as ROBINSON ROBERTSON Ann Whaplode Drove

which would suggest a bap date for Abraham of about 1775 Whaplode Drove.

have you been on Lincs to the past?

there are 3 baptisms on family beta site all to John Cooke & Ann - earlier children must have died;

Abraham Cooke  21/6/1762
                        12/7/1767
                        20/12/1772

also lists the 1772 one on the 1841 census so will check A*

sorry didn't say but first Abraham Cooke s/o John & Ann was

Abraham Dekey Cooke so then:

COOKE John 09 May 1753 Lic/AD Great Postl(and) DEKEY Anne Whaplode Drove

would seem to be Abrahams parents.
