Good Morning Denise

Unfortunately I cannot help with your request, but believe your William Cooke may be related to my Anna Cooke.

The family were involved with the Highnam estate 4km to the west of Gloucester

Anna married my 7x Great Grandfather Evan Jenkins at Newland on 4th June 1701. My research indicates that Anna was born about 1687 in Newent returning to Newent some time after the death of Evan in 1734. Anna died in 1758.

Anna Cooke was the daughter of Guiliamus (William) Cooke b 1643 d 1700. William was member of parliament for Gloucester in 1679.

Anna had three brothers Edward d abt. 1724 Dennis d 1747 (childless) and William
Cook(e) b abt 1680, it is his line I am currently tracing.

Following the death of Dennis the Highnam estate passed to one of his sisters who had married a Guise.

I will be in touch as I find more information.

Kind Regards

Tony Jenkins
