Eliza Cook (ne Harris) death record missing
« on: Monday 21 December 20 11:52 GMT (UK) »
Hi all.

I am missing a record of death for my great-great-grandmother, Eliza Cook (ne Harris).

If anyone can offer a clue as to when she died I'd much appreciate it.

I know she died after 1945 as she is the informant on her husband's death certificate that year. Her husband, Abraham Cook, died in 1945 in Worksop. I believe the family would have been living in Worksop at the time but can't find any death record for an Eliza Cook around that time.

Born
7 November 1883, 18 Upper Chapel Street – Tividale, Staffordshire

Birth certificate
Father's occupation – Pudler

Married
18 April 1903 to Abraham Cook (E15), St. John’s Church – Dudley, West Midlands

Marriage certificate
Usual residence – Cromwell Street
Fathers occupation – Labourer

Died
After 1945

Census records & registers
1891 – 18 Upper Chapel Street – Tividale, Staffordshire (scholar)
1901 – 18 Upper Chapel Street – Tividale, Staffordshire
1911 – 11 Strutts Yard – Mansfield Woodhouse, Nottinghamshire

Where was she in 1939

I think she is with her son Cyril in Hemsworth, Yorkshire with an incorrect DOB.

Marriages Jun 1946

COOK,    Eliza   
PHILLIPS,  Thomas   
Hemsworth    9c   478

Possible death

Deaths Mar 1965 

PHILLIPS, ELIZA
aged 81
Hemsworth    2b   754

I'm not sure.

Her husband Abraham was living with their daughter Violet in Worksop, but no sign of Eliza.

I think this is correct Debra! Cyril's DoB matches the one I have for him.

Obviously Abraham and Eliza had split, and she was living with her son and her new partner in Hemsworth in 1939. After Abraham died in 1945 she married again.

Thank you for the help!
