If anyone can help me, I am trying to find information about -

ROBERT JOHN COKER. b1816. City.London.

Married Elizabeth (Valler? Not sure if it was this Elizabeth) on 03/04/1840 at St Marys. Lambeth.

I have all the details of his children - but would like names/details of his parents if possible and any siblings. Not had much luck so far. Trying to go further back.

I only have a subscription for GR and it hasn't been of any help. I have tried FamilySearch as well, but no luck there either.

On a census it states his birthplace as 'City. London'. His children were born in the Lambeth area.

Researching:
McRae. Conway. Bean. Clark.
