The burial register of Christ Church, Portswood for 1854, records Lucy Cooke of Portswood Lane, aged 64, bring buried on the 20th July.

Death record for John Cooke, Oct-Dec 1841, South Stoneham Vol 7, page 150 (page may be incorrect as difficult to read). This would have meant he died before the founding of the church and would be why they were not buried together.
