William Geikie-Cobb

William Frederick Geikie-Cobb (born Danbury 1857 – died London 1941) was an Anglican priest[1] and author,[2] most notable for his willingness to remarry divorced people in church.[3][4][5]

Geikie-Cobb was educated at King Edward VI Grammar School, Chelmsford[6] and Trinity College, Dublin and ordained in 1883. He served curacies at Send, Addlestone, Winchester and Kentish Town. He was rector of St Ethelburga's Bishopsgate from 1900 until his death.[7] During his tenure he was able to officiate at the remarriage of many divorced people,[8] partly because the then Bishop of London had increasingly lost control of discipline within the diocese.[9]

He died on 14 December 1941.[10]
