COOK INDEX ENTRIES AS OF 05 January 2005

1821.
Extracted from Yorkshire Mills by George Ingle.
In 1821 a building was advertised for sale in Barlick which had been used for cotton spinning by James Cook.

I have references of James Cook being associated with Newfield Edge at Middop (1837) and Flass House (1841 and 1844) on Brogden Lane in the electoral rolls. In the 1844 entry his place of abode was given as Nefield Edge, Middop so he was freeholder of both addresses.
