[1] Yet to see baptism record for John Cook in 1776.

John Cook died on 26 Aug 1813, aged 70-71, in Pytchley, Northamptonshire and was buried, on 29 Aug 1813 in All Saints Churchyard, Pytchley. It is clear from the fact that there's a headstone, that he must have been a cut above the average labourer. Listed in the Northamptonshire And Rutland Probate Index, John Cook's will lists his occupation as a farmer.
Sarah Cook died on 7 May 1826, and was also buried at All Saints, Pytchley, on 11 May 1826, with her late husband.
