• Notes

  Cooke family Alfred Cooke married Alice Matilda Braham in 1889 They had a son, Alfred Lewis Cooke in 1890 Alfred Lewis Cooke was still alive in 1911 census aged 20 Not possible to tell if any other family members present in 1911 census at this time. Need to check 1911 census to see if any other family members Looked for Alfred L getting married Assumed he married 1906 (min age 16) to 1929 (end of FreeBMD records and aged 39) Used FreeBMD but then used Beta where no FreeBMD coverage for certain quarters Possibilities:- Sep 1907 Cooke Alfred Louis Cuff or John Pontypridd 11a 1177 Mar 1914 Cooke Alfred L Sarah Wynder Greenwich 1d 1127 Mar 1918 Cooke Alfred L Vera L Follett Cardiff 11a 452 The most likely one is the one in 1914 because of location, but equally he could have been stationed in Wales during the war and married a Welsh girl Alfred Cooke (the father) died between 1905 (last seen in 1901 census) and 1947 (wife dies a widow) On Alice Matilda's death cert we have E A Harrold, daughter Obvious thought is that an unknown daughter married a Mr Harrold E A could be her initials or could be husband's (Mrs E A Harrold) Decided to look for death of suitable person to try and find Christian names:- Searched 1947 - 2004 inclusive for Harrold deaths:- Year Qtr Name Age Born Died 1958 JFM Elizabeth A 69 1889 Barrow F 1958 JFM Ethel A 62 1896 Scarboro' 1964 JAS Edith A 74 1890 Worksop 1965 AMJ Elizabeth A 86 1879 Wisbech 1966 AMJ Edit A S 88 1878 Southampton 1970 JFM Eveline Ada 14 Oct 1901 Thornbury 1976 JAS Elsie Ann 21 Feb 1894 Peterborough 1979 OND Elsie Annie 28 Jan 1891 Birmingham 1983 JFM Edith Alice 01 May 1893 Trafford 1987 JFM Elizabeth Annie 81 26 Feb 1905 Shepway 1996 AMJ Edith Annie E 86 07 Oct 1909 Worthing 1997 AMJ Edith Alice 85 04 Oct 1911 Westminster We can discount all those born before 1901 census as she wasn't with the family, although we must still consider that she was with relatives. Equally, if we look at the list of 1911 census names around where the family were, we could discount all the others except Edith Alice Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a Cooke birth to match with the two most likely ones (1983 , 1997) Another possibility is that she is actually an ex-daughter-in-law (Alfred Lewis married her, died, and she remarried but still kept in touch) However I haven't found any possible spouse for Alfred L with initials E A
