Hi, does anyone have this family in their tree. I am trying to find the parents of Henry who was born around 1872 without having to resort to buying the certificate. Not so much because of the cost but for the time it will take to send it.
Thanks

You are in luck in that the marriage is online.
Father of Henry down as Joseph Cook deceased tin plate worker so that gives something to go on.
-
Possible birth Dec 1871 Birmingham
Henry Cook mothers name Brown
so you could look for a Joseph Cook marriage to a Brown

1881 Cook family in Birmingham
Joseph Cook 38 stamper
Camelia 31
Henry 8
Sidney 4
Ann 2
Not quite sure who Camelia was as birth for Sidney appears to have mothers name Wareham and for Ann(e) Waring :-\
Maybe Henry had a different mother.
-
In 1891 the Sidney and Ann from above census are with an uncle and aunt - William & Sarah Cook.
There's a death for Joseph Cook Dec 1886 Birmingham age 43 which fits nicely with the age on 1881 census of 38.
Getting there in a round a bout way.

So Joseph and Cornelia married after Henry was born yet Joseph is a bachelor when he marries.
So we still don't know who Henry's mother was.
Notice Joseph Cooke with an "e" so looked for Henry Cooke.
Henry Gupwell Cooke Dec 1872 Birmingham mothers name Gupwell
Do you think we are on the right track with the other Henry birth MMN Brown or no?
-
can't find any association with a Gupwell. There was a Henry Cook married a Maria brown in 1868 so don't think that is him.

So Joseph and Cornelia married after Henry was born yet Joseph is a bachelor when he marries.
They married in May, Henry born quarter 4 1874.

I’ve stumbled across the only baptism I can find for the Cook family.
Joseph Cook Born21 Feb 1875 Baptised14 Mar 1875 Abode- Phillip St. Joseph, (stamper)Cornelia
Joseph Cooke Birth abt 1875
Death - 4/1877 Birmingham Warwickshire
This puts a question mark for the birth of Henry Cook Q4/1874 Birmingham – Vol 6d page 172
The only one I can see earlier was born Q4/1871 or was he William Henry Cook born 4/1873 Birmingham
Colin
PS. Henry G Cook is also on the 1881 census:
Henry G. Cook
Mother: Eliza Cook
Father: Stephen Hy. Cook
-
I note Henry was 21 when he married in April 1893.
It looks likely that millipede may be right?

Hi, thanks Colin. On the 1881 census they have Sidney born 1877 and Ann born 1879 there. They are both on GRO as Mother Wareham/Waring. I can't find a record for them. Joseph is also on GRO
Maybe Henry was a son Cornelia had before she married Joseph and either Joseph gave him his name or he was his son.
