Cook Family

[carol46]

Looking for some information on a James Cook born 1805 died in 1885 Alresford. He married a Elizabeth Harfield in 1823 she was also married to a William Bowley not sure if it was before James. Can't seem to find much on the Cook family. Also think there may be a connection to Basingstoke.
Thanks in advance.

Yes that's him. In 1881 he was in boardings. He was a naval pensioner. He was a widower at this time. Not sure who his parents could be?

In 1841 Ann (15) and William (12) plus other siblings John (14) & Mary (5)  Cook are with William and Elizabeth Bowley.

William and Elizabeth have a daughter Elizabeth
