William Cooke and the Braginton / Vicary families

William (Bill) Cooke kindly sent a great deal of carefully sourced information the Braginton and Vicary families. He has a particular interest in the history of some Devon parishes, in particular, the parishes of St Giles in the Wood, High Bickington, Atherington, Tawstock and Yarnscombe.

Bill sent the wonderful transcription of the Vicary family bible, a detailed summary of Braginton family history, and Clara Louisa Braginton’s baptismal record.

He also very generously allowed me (Matthew Brett) to share this information on the website.
