Middle Name

[edit]

This article and several sources cannot agree on whether his middle name was John or Robert. Work needed? Britmax (talk) 22:18, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

His name was definitely Charles John Bowen Cooke - without a hyphen. Several Crewe documents bear his signature "C. J. B. Cooke" and his book "British Locomotives" (1893) gives his name on the title page as "C. J. Bowen Cooke". See the well-researched and authoritative "Crewe Locomotive Works and its men" by Brian Reed (pub. David & Charles, 1982) for a short biography.Hyjack7 (talk) 11:41, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
