We cannot tell without you telling us who the family are that you are following.   Which of James children are you looking at

[carol46]

It's Ann Cook born 1824 Basingstoke who married John Bartlett 30th November 1850.

[rosie99]

Thank you 

Marriage took place at Basingstoke father James Cook occupation Lab(ourer). Ann signed her name.

1851 gives place of birth for both of them as Basingstoke, they are living in Hackwood Road which is where the Bowleys were in 1841.   This seems to indicate that Harfield is linked.
ADDED still in Hackwood Road in 1861 - John, Ann and children



It is the James Cook that you have dying in 1885 that we have not yet linked to this family

[carol46]

Yes that's address I have. This is the James cook I have as Ann's father. I had. Her mother down as a Harfield though not a Tagg. I'm getting a bit confused now. Plus was Bowley married to Ann or not?

Marriage Sep qtr 1839 
BOWLEY    William       
COOKE    Elizabeth       
Basingstoke    7   64

BOWLEY, ELIZABETH  HARRIETT     Mothers maiden surname HARFIELD 
GRO Reference: 1841  J Quarter in BASINGSTOKE  Volume 07  Page 48

I cannot see any link at the moment to the James who died in 1885 who appears to have been married to Harriet Tagg and lived in Portsea.

Working from the Cook children listed on the 1841 census, the youngest is Mary Ann. On her baptism 1 April 1836, there is no father listed, just mother Elizabeth. So looks like James is out of the picture by this time.
