I am researching the COOK family Charles, John, Thomas and William who all came to Australia before 1861.
Exact date unknown.
They all settled in South Australia.
I am visiting the UK next month from Australia and trying to find out more info.
All I know is they are from Berkshire
Would appreciate a census look up.
They were born around 1830's
Regards
Kate

Hello Kate,
Cook is a very common name so I think people need a bit more information before they can help you. Berkshire is not a huge county but there are hundreds of villages/hamlets in it, so looking, even in the Berks fhs 1851 transcript, without some more info on where to look is impossible. If your Charles, John, Thomas and William were born 1830's, then by 1851 some of them might already have left home, so finding them together is not likely. Without parent's names or a place, looking for them in 1841 would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Regards
Vicwinann

Hello all
Thanks for help I think you have found them for me
So
I have done searches before on the IGI
but
I put in Charles Cook
parents William Cook and Elizabeth
no date but birth England
and nothing comes up
Tried it today with John and nothing came up
but
Just now i went to the IGI and put in birth dates and the names come up!
2. The ages fit
I have Charles Marrying in Australia (SA) 1861 aged 24
William (My ancestor) marrying in SA 1856 aged 25
3 On both William and Charles death certificate which I know you shouldnt trust says born Riding Kent
4 I think William and John came to Australia aboard the Culphurnia in 1849
5 And thats fits with the Census
Well thank you all after all these years!!!!!!!!!!
I find them 4 weeks before I go to the UK !!!!!!!!

Hi Jill
If at all possible are you able to look up the next census after 1851 to see who is still there?
If not thats ok
To all

It will be good to now go to Berkshire and take photos in the area they came from
Cheers
