Notes for Mary DUCKERING
Invaluable Online Auction website: Lot 55: Cookery, Medical and Veterinary - Duckering, Mary - collections of recipes 1796-1826. Description
Cookery, Medical and Veterinary.- Duckering (Mary, of Tothby, Lincolnshire) [Collection of recipes], manuscript, in several hands, 73pp. excluding blanks, several ff. working loose, a few ff. cut with loss, browned, hinges weak and split, ink signature of Mary Robinson (a direct descendent of Mary Duckering) and ink inscription of Frederick Duckering Cooke describing the manuscripts descent to 1904, original vellum, soiled, worn, lettered direct on upper cover: "Receipt Book", lacks most of spine, sm. 4to, 1796-1826.
⁂ "Miss Mary Duckering married Dr John Robinson at Tothby or Alford. Their daughter Elizabeth married Frederick Cooke, my father and her's book came into my hands March 1904. Frederick Duckering Cooke at Derby."
Recipes include: "Ipswich Almond Pudding"; "Bread and Butter Pudding"; "Ratafia Pudding"; "Muffins"; "Another way to make Pig Sauce"; "Brain Cakes"; "Bullace cheese [Wild plum]"; "for the Hooping Cough"; "Mustard Whey Recipe for Rheumatismetc.
There are two Mary Duckering’s who married Robinson’s. Mary (831) Born 1811 Willoughton, Lincolnshire, death date unknown, married John Robinson (2477) 1839 Cammeringham, Lincolnshire. Two children recorded, Thomas & Susannah. Little else is known about them.
The other Mary (3702) born 1769 Alford, married Samuel Robinson 1802 Alford and she died 1842 Alford. Samuel was born 1769 and died 1847 Alford and his will declares him a farmer of Tothby. They have four children, Samuel, Mary, Elizabeth and Peter. Elizabeth married Frederick Cooke in 1836.
I therefore believe the recipe book is Mary Duckering who married Samuel Robinson, as the other Mary was not born until 1811, after the 1796 date inscribed by Mary, who would have been 27 when she wrote that date. In addition, the inscription also inlcudes Tothby. Tothby is near Alford (East of Lincoln) and no where near Cammeringham or Willoughton, which are both North of Lincoln and some distant from each other. And finally the added note about how Frederick Duckering Cooke became the owner of this book, he was the grandson of Samuel & Mary Duckering, son of Frederick & Elizabeth Cooke.
