Hi Monica

Thanks for the 1851 ...they were under CookE ..I think Thomas,  the dad was born in Devon, Barnstaple ... sometimes people hear it as BarnstaBle

this looks interesting ...from national archives .....re thomas and Jane Cooke

North Devon Record Office 2309-3/46/23
Assignment of a Mortgage 1. William Northcott of Castle Cary in Somerset, gent. 2. Jane Cooke of Barnstaple, wife of Thomas Cooke 3. John Parkin of Newport, innholder Property: Three lots of land with three dwelling houses part of Congerham, Newport


I think Thomas COOke may have been married to a Mary Ann in 1841 ...will check further ....

Barnstaple, Second back lane

Thomas COOKE 20 MARINER
Susannah COOKE 20
Both born in county

DEATH:
Susannah COOKE
Mar q 1842 Barnstaple

WOW Deb - lots of good info there Wink

I think I might have found a better fit for the marriage of Thomas Cook(e) and Jane. Assuming he was married first to Sarah who died 1st qrt 1842, there is this marriage:

Marriages Jun 1847
Cook    Thomas         Williton    10   853   
Griffith    Jane         Williton         10    853   

There are a couple of other female names on the page. But, I thought the place of marriage was relevant and also the surname Griffith given the name of one of their children (GILES GRIFFITHS COOK).

THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH. Thanks for the Chelsea pensioner info....as you know i'm useless on NA
i'm just about to order Birth  and death C for James Cook. marriage cert for Thomas and Jane  Smiley

I will also order Thomas's death cert too.


Thomas's wife Jane was born in Chatham ,Kent , they must have met at the barracks when he was posted there .  James was also posted  in kent in 1871as you know...

Monica, thanks so much for the DC for Thomas
deb... we'll keep looking for 1881 . I have found Jane Cooke widowed in 1881 with
her daughter Fanny, servant in Carhampton. They are both lodgers.

I have not managed to do much what with wedding and family over from Oz.

Hi Debzzzz

So glad you have had a wonderful time with your family  Smiley

I would keep searching on this thread as we have gathered all the info here ...this would be good in that we would not have to keep on refering back to this thread . Maybe what you could do is change the 'subject title' to include Thomas' name , maybe DOB too ...that way anyone with an interest in either of them can find them here ...

what do you think ?
