Sussex / Re: COOK family from Sussex - no idea where to look
« on: Friday 15 December 17 02:56 GMT (UK)  »
Certainly.  Henry Cook 1780, children: Thomas George 1815/16, William 1817, Henry 1819, Phillip 1826, Eliza 1828, Mary Ann 1830.  Mrs Cook name unknown.  Thomas' obituary said he came from Sussex, and Phillip's from Brighton. That is all that is known about this family prior to coming to Western Australia.
They left England as part of the Thomas Peel project on the "Rockingham" in 1830.

I am also looking for the Cook family who arrived in WA on the "Rockingham".  I am not sure how old these posts are because I've just joined this site, and have come to a dead end on other sites.  With regard to Mrs Cook, she is probably still at Clarence, as not all of the bodies were moved to Fremantle, and according to the resources at the State Library, Mary Ann could be there too as there were other Cooks that died there. It would be lovely to find them after such a horrible start to their new life.
