lol When we first saw the parish register entry for John Hellier to Susannah we had nothing to cross ref it with and the film image of the PR at the Dorset CRO was poor. We took her name to be Cook(e), but I now realise it's actually Gook(e)!!
I've just found a will of a relation:
John Gook of Corfe Castle Dorset, will signed 3 June 1723.
Amongst others he gives:
unto Susanna the wife of John Hellier of Osmington in the said County of Dorset the sum of five pounds.
The will was proved 26 Aug 1724.
This is a mistranscription (correction now submitted)!
John Cook Burial 28 Aug 1723 Corfe Castle in woollen
