I just posted a question on the site about a duplication of a marriage and births of James Cook and Martha Haysham in 1774 in Swanage and Bishops Cannings and I have struggled to find the birthplace of James,could anybody out there have any idea where he came from? All I know about him is he was a marbler,and he was a minor when he married,thats according to the parish records in Dorchester.Swanage Marriages PE-SW RE3-1. Any Imformation would help Denis Cook.

Not a unique name is it.... James COOK ? Did he leave a will? It would be great if he did and had siblings with more unusual names mentioned. That might help you to find the family group in a baptism register somewhere.
