Notes:

"of Upton" [just northeast of Nottingham] from transcription in Lincolnshire FHS Mar 1999 (Vol 10 No 1): Compiler Rev. Thomas Cocking, dated 21 Dec. 1864. Shows ties between brothers John, William, Joseph & Thomas Cocking. [although it may be that there is an extra generation needed to rectify the members, since a Joseph married Sarah Warrener in 1772 which appears to be too late for this Joseph, unless he married late in life. Will leave as is for now though. June 2011]

Notes:

Two sets of parents have been suggested by other researchers. John Cocking & Ellen Mitchell by Anne Brogden [on Tree given by her to Lois Squire of NY]; and Robert & Dorothy Cocking of Tuxford by Nik Nicola Pike of Fulstow, which concurs with my thoughts, and research. Aug 2011.

Notes on Robert Cocking & wife Dorothy: LDS IGI shows 4 baptisms in Nottinghamshire in correct time period, 2 in Tuxford, 2 in Weston, which is not far away. Two additional Baptisms also found.
1. 1725, 9 Apr, Weston, John, male, son of Robert Cocking & Dorothy. Film 504052 viewed Nov 2011.
2. 1727, 15 Jul, Weston, Robert, male, son of Robert Cocking & Dorothy. film # 504054. Viewed Nov 2011.
3. 1731, 7 Jul, Tuxford, George, male, son of Robert Cocking & Dorothy. Film 504052 viewed Nov 2011.
4. 1733, 16 Feb, Tuxford, William, son of Robert & Dorothy Cockayne. Film 504052, not in IGI, viewed Nov 2011.
5. 1737, 23 Feb.,Tuxford, Thomas, son of Robert & Dorothy Cockayne. Film 504052. Not in IGI. Viewed Nov 2011.
6. 1743, 11 Sept, Tuxford, Joseph, male, son of Robert Cocking & Dorothy. indexing proj: C05409-2, film # 504052. Viewed film 504052 Nov 2011.
This would fit with all 4 of the Cocking brothers in our family, both for names and year of birth based on other records like census, or burials, plus 2 new ones Robert & George who may not have lived to have families.

Additionally, Joseph named one of his daughters Dorothy, which does not seem like a very common name here.
