William Wordsworth, poet laureate 1770-1850

Question

Hello everybody. Am researching the familytree of William Wordsworth. Going back in time to his ggggrandfather,Henry Cookson. Cannot find B.or d.dates nor the name of his wife .Can anybody help?

From Henry down the tree is fairly straight forward but of Henry------just a brick wall. Would hazard a guess at his birth date circa 1670-80 and it is just a guess. Thanks one and all
