Notes for Catherine Cooke
She is referred to in the will of her son Dr Robert Hallifax as still being alive, hence she died after 1810. However Benjamin Bather, a Hallifax descendant, has found a report that she was in St Albans after 1810 and died in 1825. Her will is published (PCC).
________________________________________________________
June 2006, TFPL: The will was written on 8th May 1824 and proved on 16th August 1825 in London.
_______________________________________________________
In July 2015 Benjamin Bather found a frustrating snippet which is probably half right and half wrong:
Borough of Twickenham Local History Society
Paper Number 25
St. Albans, Hampton

Page 9
I quote "From 1813 to 1831 St Albans was inhabited by Miss Caroline Hallifax, Winifred Graham noted that a window pane at St Albans had been inscribed, and dated 1818, by Caroline Halifax (sic) whom she declared to be a relation of Lord Halifax, Ranger of Bushey Park. This window pane was not seen in the house prior to its demolition. The connection of Miss Hallifax with Lord Halifax seems unlikely, but nothing is known about her." 25
