Hi Roger,

That is very useful, thank you very much!

Erica,

With regard to  the Cooke family, the above entry (Dazey999), shows family members present in the 1871 Census. However, I believe there were two additional daughters - Helena b.1859 and another Jane b.1857.

This Jane is not shown in the 1871 Census because she was away at boarding school at the time - Whitmore House, Cuckfield, Sussex (1871 Census). Helena, being 12 at the time may also have been away at school.

The whole family is listed in the 1881 Census.

Thank you Roger! I really, really appreciate all your hard work!

The hard work is for a purpose as I believe I am related to the Cooke family and am trying to discover more about them.

That's very interesting!

Sir Clement Kinloch-Cooke was my 3rd cousin 3x removed.

I believe that Jane Cooke b.1857 was my great grandmother on my mother's side but am having difficulty tracing my great grandfather.

It would make Sir Clement my great great uncle, I think.

If I come across anything I'll be sure to let you know!

Happy hunting!

Hi Roger,

I've been looking at what I have on the Family Tree.....

I have Clement's mother as Jane Walker b. 1822 and his father as Robert Whall Cooke.

I can give you some more info regarding Clement's siblings and Jane's family if you'd be interested?

I don't have a sister for Clement as Jane Cooke b. 1857, but I do have an Emily Jane Cooke, b. 1856??
