I would concur with the comments of @Áine Ní Donnghaile (at your earlier post) and would agree that it is probably best to leave the 1597 birth / baptism detail for Richard Cocke until such a time that further evidence shows otherwise.
One thing I did notice, in viewing Richard's profile / Collaboration section, was that you appear to have inputted a wrong birth date for his daughter Elizabeth. From other notes, it is not completely clear if she was the daughter of his first wife, or second, but the fact that in his will Richard shows her to be under 17 years old in 1665 (date of will) indicates a 1652 birth (suggested in another note) to be far more likely than a 1645 one - which would make her 20 years old in 1665.
Unfortunately, the county of Shropshire area is not one of the English counties where I have any ancestral connections, but the problem of identifying individuals with a relatively common name (where there are multiple cases of a birth in the same area and time period) is often confronted (and difficult to confirm) when dealing with records dating back to c1600.
