Cooke-3203 and Cooke-2931 appear to represent the same person because: dates/locations pretty close & their biographies indicate the profiles are both intended to represent the son of Mordecai II & Frances Ironmonger who married a Booth. Please merge. Thanks!

Warning: Check the data. A birth date (Cooke-2931 born 1660) should not be more than 60 years before or after a sibling's birth date (Cooke-3641 born 1725) .
However, changing to the sourced date results in this warning: Warning: Check the data. A child's birth date (Cooke-2930 born 1683) should not be before a parent is six years old (Cooke-2931 born 1690) .
The change would also make him 24 years younger than his wife.
Research needed.
This John may be the son of Mordecai & Frances (Ironmonger) Cooke. Their currently attached son John is born too early to be theirs (the b 1660 John should probably be merged with Mordecai's brother John... and this John may be the son of the brother instead of the son of Mordecai).
See Ironmonger-1, Cooke-584 (Frances & Mordecai - both born 1649, according to their profiles) & the two John Cookes: Cooke-2931 (b 1660, attached as Mordecai's son), Cook-4737 (b 1654, attached as his brother)
I have a note on Cooke-2931: b 1690, according to Descendants of Mordecai Cooke, William Carter Stubbs (1923). (see p 39 - http://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015025921365;view=1up;seq=43 )
