Research Notes

This is a conflated profile

• There were 2 James Cooks.

1. married Priscilla Darkins^[1]
2. married Mary Osborn^[8]

• The one who married Mary Osborn was the James who died in 1877.
• I removed the death date because it seems this James died before 1839. His wife remarried in 1839. Priscilla's marriage to John Darkins was registered in the Oct-Nov-Dec quarter of 1839 in the Mildenhall district.^[9]

Birth

• I can't find proof that James is the son of Isaac and Elizabeth. He has a sister, Maria, that was born in 1801, at the time of his supposed birth. Unsure if he is a son of the attached parents.

Children

• Attached dauther, Susan Cook, is missing records to prove relationship. All other children were baptized, so it would be odd that she isn't. She may not belong to this family.
• Attached son, Robert Cook, may be Robert Darkins, born in 1832, son of John Darkins. He is listed as a son in the 1841 and 1851 census with John and Priscilla. But John and Priscilla married in 1839 after his birth. He is a Darkins not a Cook
