I know this is a long shot considering the ubiquity of the surname Cook, but here goes...
I'm looking for the following family:
William COOK (b.1829, Morval). He married Ann COWL (b.1833, Antony) on 1 September 1850 in St. Stephens by Saltash.
Together they had 10 children: Jane Ann (b.1852) William James (b.1853) Susan (b.1858) Eliza (b.1859) John (b.1861) Mary Ann (b.1865) Ellen (b.1867) Harriet (b.1868) Samuel (b.1870) Charlie (b.1871)
I haven't been able to find William COOK or Ann COWL's parents or what happened to any of their children (except for Charlie, who's my great grandfather).
If anyone has any further/additional information, I'd love to hear from you.
