James Dunnett COOK - Death
« on: Monday 08 November 10 21:38 GMT (UK) »
A family story is that my great-great grandfather moved to Australia shortly after his wife died.

His name was James Dunnett Cook.  He was born in Caston, Norfolk around 1837.

He appears on the UK 1901 census as living with his daughter.  However, he is not on the 1911 census.

My grandmother is postive that he went to Australia with two of his brothers.  Even though he would have been almost 70.

I can been unable to find any sign of him on passenger lists nor any recvord of his death in England or Australia.

Can anyone help me please?

Many thanks

Terri
