Welcome to the boards, Brian.

Could you give us the date and place of birth - or death- if known.

Do you know who his parents were, and who he married?

What information do you know about him, and what are you trying to find?

Where have you looked for him, or are you just getting started?

I cannot see anyone called Francis Cokert in any trees on here, have you entered him on your tree under a different spelling?

Thank-you

Added:
I also cannot see your birth at the time and place you have specified.

Is the surname Coker?

Think this is the marriage of your grandparents:

Marriages Sep 1900
Burring Annie Pepperall Totnes 5b 315
Coker Francis Richard Totnes 5b 315

If so, this might be his birth:

Births Sep 1875
COKER Francis Richard Totnes 5b 164

Which would correspond with this death:

Francis R Coker
Birth Date: abt 1875
