Cook/Stokes marriage
« on: Thursday 06 April 06 18:46 BST (UK) »
I know it's a long shot, but can anyone help me track down a record of a marriage between Rebecca Stokes (b about 1803) and Thomas Cook.   At the time of their daughter Sarah's birth in 1838, they were residing at 47 Snow Hill, St. Mary Birmingham.

Oh my goodness, Sarah!   I can't believe how quickly you replied.  Thank you so much for this information.   I'm going to really press my luck here and ask if you know of any way to get any kind printed record of this marriage, so I can try and track down their parents or other pertinent information.

Thanks once again.  You're terrific.

Kim
