Nursing homes etc

[Jool]

Found her on 1939 Findmypast.  Her Gillespie surname on the original is badly written and they have transcribed it as Riley (Gill?) noting her later married name Riley.  She is and living in Ilkley, Yorkshire, occupation a nurse in a children's hospital.  Maybe Ancestry haven't released her record yet.

No clue to "Cooke's"

There was a retired carpet manufacturer, Reginald Cooke, who had a large house (Dunluce) in Ben Rhydding, Ilkley. I wonder if that's the house in the pictures and if the child is perhaps a grandchild.

Assuming Dunluce is still the same house, it doesn't look the same:

I think it's Gillespie, then crossed out and changed to Riley - which seems to fit.

We don't see much of the "Cooke's" house in the photos but there is a good shot of one across the road from it. I shall do some virtual exploring.

Moira, have you got a scan of the back of the photo? Does it definitely say Cooke's or could it possibly be something else?
