Re: Nicholas Cooke, of North Repps Mary Cooke and Joan Wadham

This whole line seems to be spurious at this point. There are no sources for Nicholas, although Ancestry.com has some seemingly fanciful (meaninglessly sourced) information. Wikitree (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Cooke-1299) shows his parents as unknown. Joan Tregarthen (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Tregarthen-12), married first John Kelloway and then John Wadham. John Kelloway's will mentions his daughters Mary the elder (presumably dying young) and Mary the younger. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Kellaway-37 's WikiTree entry has an unsourced, unknown child, who could possibly be Nicholas, I'm not sure what to do about this. Any good ideas?

So Now that we can actually see the tress I can look at Nicholas Cooke, of North Repps and add notes, which I did.

I agree with John Cowles the evidence to support Mary Cooke as a mother is weak.
