Kingman Families Also Known as Cook(e)

There are many instances of family groups in the West Country where they are known as "Kingman alias Cook", sometimes as Kinman, sometimes as Cooke. It is reasonable to expect that this is one family with a common root, but if that surmise is true, no common root has yet been found. Some of these families have already been recorded within the counties where they first show up, but this is an attempt to bring them all together.
