Biography

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Sydney-1

Joan or Johann Syday (aka Sydney, Sydey) was born in 1522, the daughter of wealthy yeoman (independent landowner) John Syday and his wife, Helen (Unknown) Syday. She was born at the family manor in Pebmarsh, Essex, England. It is very probable, though not proven, that Joan had three older brothers: Christopher, Jeffrey, and Henry Sydey. She may have had other siblings. Alas, shortly after her 1522 birth, their mother, Helen Syday, died, possibly from childbirth complications, not uncommon at that time and place.

Robert and Joan Cooke had 7 children together as follows:

1. Thomas Cooke, b. 1541; m. 3 times; d. 1621
2. John, the Elder, Cooke, b. ca. 1543 (possibly twins); d. bef. 1621
3. John, the Younger, Cooke, b. ca. 1543 (possibly twins); d. bef. 1621
4. Lawrence Cooke, b. ca. 1545
5. Helene ("Elene") Cooke (m. Wiscowe), b. ca. 1548
6. Margaret ("Margerie") Cooke (m. Sawen), b. ca. 1550; d. bef. 1621
7. Robert Cooke, b. ca. 1554
