COOK, HUGHES families, Bisham
- Bisham
My G-G-G-G Grandad was BARNET COOK, born Bisham 1796. We believe his wife to have been called Mary. The family remained in Bisham for ages and in 1825 my G-G Grandad James Cook was born, marrying Maria Hughes of Bow, then Middlesx. At some stage they ran a pub in Bisham, presumably the ancient Bulls Head.
I know that Maria ended up running the Alfreds Head Pub in Stockwell, London, at the time of the 1881 census. Her husband isn't mentioned so I presume he'd died by then. He was succeeded by Herbert, a solicitor's clerk born in Bisham, (my Great Grandad) and Mary, who worked at the pub also Frederick and James, on whom I have no info. Does anyone have any information on these Cooks please or on the Hughes family of Bow?
Herbert married Alica Matilda Teatheredge late in 1881(variously spelled Teatheridge, Tetheredge etc), Alice was also born in Bisham, her father's name was James. Any info on the Cook, Teatheredge or Hughes families would be much appreciated. Thank you.
