- Marriage (1): Joan COCK on 26 Dec 1785 in Meshaw, Devon, England

General Notes:
Parents of Ann - discovered through the prayer book of her first husband - see transcription in Ann Baker's entry.
The Kings Nympton registers were searched (1781-1793) and the only relevant entries were
- baptism of daughter Ann
- baptism of son John
- burial of son John
Also checked earlier dates at Kings Nympton for a marriage of John & Joan. However there are no marriages listed for 1778-1780 (the vicar died in 1777)
