COOK family

[DaveHam9]

Hello crankypants,

Several members of the COOK family came to Australia. I can't find any of them yet in shipping records. There are English queries so I'll put them in the correct place. :rolleyes:

Kenneth COOK b. 1897 England d. 1971 Warriewood

married 1922 Sydney

Britta Nea PEARSSON b. 1901 Vic. d. 1982

1930 N.S.W Electoral Roll - Reid - Auburn North
796 COOK Britta Nea, 18 Hampstead rd., Aurburn, home duties
798 COOK Kenneth, 18 Hampstead rd., Aurburn, machinist

Have E/R 1930 to 1954.

Please see what you can find Kenneth in 1913. Thanks.

Regards,

Dave

[DaveHam9]

Hello crankypants,

I wonder if Kenneth arrived in Victoria, but then I would have expected the marriage to have been in Victoria. I can't see any PEARSSON deaths in NSW.

We don't have a Shipping board yet. :rolleyes:

So far I can't find a death or funeral notice for Charles or for parents James & Mary Ann. There are two other Mary Ann COOKs in NLA but not the right spouse. This is the same James born abt 1820 who arrived sometime before his marriage in 1864. :)

Hi Dave

Nothing yet, too many James COOK's :confused: lets hope one of their children link back to James & Mary through NLA, that's our only hope.
Was he a constable!

cheers
crankypants

[DaveHam9]

Hello crankypants,

I'm running out of children for possible links back. :D There are lots of COOKs born to James & Mary A including some at Newtown but only the three with RD St George. More work needed to see if there are other children. If Charles b. 1871 is the last then that could be a clue to a death.

I don't know if he was a constable. About all I can say from searching NLA is that there are three different Mary Anns married to a COOK and mine is not the family associated with the hotel on the Cooks River. I've also ruled out another Mary Ann HUNT.

I can't see the marriages in NLA so nothing about parents being still alive or address where they were living.

Hi Dave

Searching for Kenneth COOK after 1911 and before he married in 1922 and up to 1930 has turned up nothing.

Passenger lists leaving UK 1890-1960
1913 N.S.W Electoral Roll
N.S.W Sands Directory

Ruled out one Kenneth Cook E/R, turns out he is Kenneth 'S' Cook (S = Sinclair) with is parents Alexander & Agnes B.
Ruled out one Kenneth Cook S/D, it's possible he is Kenneth 'S' Cook as the remaining Cook's are with 'S'.
Ruled out one Kenneth Cook P/L b. 1895 a baker departing Southampton in 1913 with a John Cook heading to New York.

I give up:confused: another swimmer, maybe this one walked.eek)

Hi Dave

FULL / EMPTY much the same.:D

How difficult was that. :rolleyes: Now that I'm back on board I can't see a death before 1979 just using Violet with parents Joseph & Jane that would fit.
If she married not using middle name or index error it could be anyone.

Lets hope the next query won't be as painful.eek)

Thanks for looking. Theresa is a mystery.

Looks as though Ken arrived between 1911 and 1915 date of enlistment (yes that mystery again).

I have the Sands Directory listings and the E/R. Not sure if you looked and didn't find Ken in 1913.

COOK Kenneth Sibbald Death notice 12DEC1986 Death 62 late of Newport SMH 15DEC1986


Back to this one. Ken's mother died in England in 1911 so I looked to see if his father remarried between 1911 and 1915. But why would his new step-mother come with him to Sydney?

Enlisted Newcastle, NSW 24 Jul 1915 - S/N 399 30th Bn / Gunner 6th FA Bde - 21 yrs 7 mo Machinist - NOK mother Mrs Annie COOK [?] living at 'Wormra' Rushcutter's Bay, NSW - Embarked Sydney, NSW HMAT A72 'Beltana' 9 Nov 1915 - Returned to Australia per 'Runic' 11 Jun 1919 - Discharged 8 Sep 1919

There are too many deaths for Annie COOK after 1915 in NSW.

I wonder if an Annie COOK can be found in 1913 living near Rushcutter's Bay? Nearby places include Woolloomooloo, Double Bay, Elizabeth Bay, Edgecliff, Darling Point, Paddington, Darlinghurst, and Sydney.

Please see what you can find. Thanks.

Hello crankypants,

Ok, thanks.

It's widespread. I have no access to my 2nd Hotmail account, not the one you send to but the one I use on tech and music forums.

Regards,

Dave

Hello crankypants,

Sorry, I didn't make it clear.

William Ernest, senior is the record attendant.

William Ernest, junior is the moulder.

This is the the marriage of junior:

Reg# 17809/1936 COOK WILLIAM ERNEST BISHELL BESSIE KATHLEEN MAY GRANVILLE

That's that couple I was hoping you'd be able to find.

This is the death of junior but I can't find any trace of Bessie.

SMH Wednesday, November 05, 1975
COOK William Ernest.-November 4, 1975, loved son of Esther May and William Ernest Cook, loved husband of Bessie Kathleen, dearly loved father of Noeleen and Fay, loved father-in-law of Bruce and Kevin, loved brother of Eileen and loved by all his family. Aged 60 years.

That seems to indicate Bessie was still alive in 1975.

Please see what you can find. Thanks.

Regards,

Dave

Hi Dave

Think I confused myself. :D

Initially I was going to send 3 William Ernest's for 1943 in REID area. Should have stuck to my original plan. (no Moulder's).

Will go back to e/r's

Bessie Kathleen May COOK 1943 Reid twice - then later Blaxland.

Hi Dave

Apart from the birth index there is no sign of your Violet B COOK. She's vanished.:o

(2 e/r's but that is the other V.B with A.C)
