Gertrude & Thomas COOK

[rosie99]

Middle initial for second child is A.  Both children are listed at same address in electoral registers for early 2000's.

Possible death 
COOK, GERTRUDE       born c1913 
GRO Reference:  DOR  Q4/2000 in Enfield  (2271A)  Reg A39D  Entry Number 242
If that  is her death there is a possible probate entry

In 1960 the family lived at 25, Primrose Avenue, Enfield.

Concerning Gertrude's maiden name, there is a possible birth for one of her sons which points to PEET, but I cannot support that with any other evidence (marriage, 1939 Register, birth of other son), hence my appeal.

In 1960 the family lived at 25, Primrose Avenue, Enfield.

Electoral registers for the period have Wilfred Hearne and Doris G Hearne at 25
Walter J T Cook and Eleanor M Cook at 23

Likely all dead now.

Possibly- Gertrude had maiden name as BICK born 19.4.1913, baptised 19.6.1916 parents George William & Beatrice Bick.

war register a good help.

With so little info was clutching at straws a bit. Cannot find a common mmn for the two children. Nearest I got was Colman 1942 and Coleman 1948.

Thank you all.

Two thoughts:-

1. Could Walter & Eleanor COOK be the parents of Thomas?

2. I'd found the COLMAN of 1942, but favoured the entry for PEET in the same quarter because of the location, but could find no supporting evidence. John's discovery of COLEMAN in 1948 is too much of a coincidence to be ignored, and might well have given us Gertrude's maiden name.

garlands, what we are trying to achieve is a common mother's surname for a  J R  & T A, that's according to electoral registers c2000. The 1942 possibly fits but the 1948 is T G so does not fit.
Can't think what else to pursue at present.

John,

You're right; I've been wrestling with finding a common mother for some time and, in despair, turned to the experts of RootsChat. For a few hours, I thought you'd done it, but your latest post sends me back to square one!
