No Cook/Putman births showing so maybe they emigrated?

All of the children mentioned in the Opening Post were born in Brentford.

There is also a Julia Cook born in 1914 which might be part of the same family

I think you might be onto something Sirius as there is this birth

Births Jun 1925
Putnam Irene mmn James Brentford 3a 379

I couldn't find an Irene Putman birth for the right period.

Perhaps it's the marriage record that is mis-transcribed?

Possible child Colman/Cook born Brentford (and others elsewhere)

Cook/Godliman born Hammersmith and born Ealing

As they may still be alive then won't post here

Thanks to Every one who is helping me try to find our family Thomas Cook 1926 and his wife Irene Putnam
All the cook/Godliman familes from Brentford /Chiswick area seem to have vanished so I have been trying for years to trace them as my husband has nothing to show they even existed its funny how the really old ones are easy but the later ones are really hard.


Thanks again to all you lovely Researchers
