Fred Cookman was born in Launceston in 1898 and for nearly his whole life was associated with St. John's Church. Firstly, he was baptised there then, as a small boy, joined the church choristers, at that time conducted by J. H. Fray. In adult life he served the church as sidesman, vestryman and churchwarden, and was secretary to the Vestry for many years.
