Title: Kenneth and Shirley Cook
Post by: Helina on Saturday 26 September 20 08:09 BST (UK)
I  was wandering if some one would kindly look up a record for me.

Kenneth Cook born 1925 Bristol Gloucestershire, married Shirley Hughes born 1934, Thornbury Gloucestershire, in 1955 Bristol.

Sometime afterwards they moved to America, Kenneth already had a sister living there.
