Hi Alan,

I'll try to find where he was born, and then I can maybe find him on the census with his parents.

A probable marriage

Ok Alan, I think I've worked out who his parents were.



This would appear to be him in 1881

Here we have a marriage for Silas Cooke to either Mary Ann Jackson, or SUSANNAH WALSH. Therefore I would say his mother was Susannah Walsh.

Thanks Slizzy you have solved my request. You confirmed that Stenson Cooke was indeed my fathers cousin.

My Grandmother was Kate Walsh born in Lenton, Notts in 1866.



Once again many thanks,



Alan

i've only just joined this site - i'm interested to know if you have come across the name of violet newbery in your research . I have some letters written by Stenson Cookes secretary which seems to suggest to me that they were related in some way. Violet Newbery was my great aunt.
