Cook Family - What happened next?

[Tall Al]

Hi,

Minnie (date of birth 2 Dec 1889) appears to have died age 94 in Hampshire in 1983.

Caleb Jnr and family are the missing bit of the jigsaw.

I think they could have moved to Grimsby.

A Caleb Thomas Cook of 18 Alfred Street, Grimsby died 4/6/1963 and Probate of his will was on 28/6/1963 Lincoln to solicitors.

However, for some reason, there doesn't appear to be an entry for him in the death indexes but can't see another likely birth for a Caleb Thomas Cook.

Caleb's eldest 2 daughters were Lily Gladys and Rose Elizabeth - marriages show a Lily G. Cook married in 1928 Grimsby and a Rose E. Cook married in 1930 Grimsby.

Plus, a Lily Cook bc.1880 died Dec.1960 Grimsby.

As to the twins - Kathleen transcribed as Kathleen Y. in index but think, looking at original page, it should be Kathleen V. and a Kathleen V. married Mar.1937 Grimsby.

Margaret was Margaret I. and she appears to have died in 1911 (after the census).

A Frances C. Cook (mmn Goodman) was born Sept.1921 Grimsby so possibily another child.

Annette, do you know I looked at that death at the very beginning,but for some reason discounted it DOH !!!

Well done for linking it with the girls marriages in Lincs.

Was Caleb a fisherman- Grimsby

It looks like you have come up trumps - goodness knows how they ended up in Grimsby.

Thanks to all on Rootschat - its a jewel of a site.

Think his name has been transcribed as "Calib" in death index

but that doesn't connect with age of your Caleb?

Just checked the image of death reg - I would have "guessed" age on death as 61 (it is transcribed as 51) but it could easily be read as 81 as the first number is very smudged - which would make it more likely to be "your" Caleb

Find My Past have him as 81 in 1963...the image is a shocker though.
