Find Ancestors

yes please that would be fab thank you

Yes a bit like Genes but some of the trees are personal and like Genes you have to contact the owner to view them and others are available for anyone to view.

I am happy to send you the basic details in a message if you like.

is it a tree someone has added ? no im not a member unfortunately

The tree lists Richard Henry Cook as dying in Tilbury in 1964 and Elizabeth Sarah Bull his wife as dying in 1970 in Margate.

If you don't have access to Ancestry you can take a free 14 day trial membership and I think the trees are also free to view on this site http://www.mundia.com/gb althougth I haven't tried it

i just did a genes tree search for richard greene born 1897 west ham and one of my relations has that on her tree so im pretty sure that is his birth i cannot view her tree you see and i believe she does not do the tree anymore

ok ive got a feeling it could be them i mean the area matches also some of the names have gone down in the generations too

There is a Tree on Ancestry that is fairly well documented and lists this as the Richard Henry Cook in the marriage. The cert would confrim whether it is correct. It does tie up with the West Ham birth

there are 10 births between those years with that name the only one in Essex is

Births Dec 1897
Cook Richard Henry W. Ham 4a 162

with a name like Richard Cook it might be difficult without the marr cert to give his father's name,

Also you don't know where he was born.

Just put Richard H Cook into FreeBMD and search from say 1890 to 1900, and see what come up

yes my nan gave me that information before she passed away so im pretty sure of that

If you are absolutely sure of her parent's names then you need to buy the marriage certificate which will give their ages and father's names and occupations, otherwise you need to start with her birth cert and then work backwards

ah yes i see thank you, i know veronica was the youngest. Im glad i now have this information do you know how i could trace the parents i found the marriage but i cannot find the fathers birth

when on FreeBMD if you click on the Reg District it will bring up another window, eg

"The district Orsett is in the county of Essex; information about it can be found here"

click on HERE and it will bring up information regarding all the places in that district.

i know veronica is definately a match the others im unsure of could be i just did a freebmd search and also found

RITA L F mmn bull orsett 1921
BARBARA V E as above 1923
ELSIE F H as above 1925
RICHARD H as above 1928

Births Jun 1930 (>99%)
Cook Eileen Y Bull Orsett 4a 1030
Births Mar 1933 (>99%)
COOK Malcolm A F Bull Orsett 4a 905
Births Jun 1935 (>99%)
Cook Veronica Bull Orsett 4a 943

yes could be a possible the family grew up in that area im gathering orsett is part of that area too sorry im not great at geography

to search for births on FreeBMD just put in surname Cook and then mother's maiden name Bull and years 1918 to 1930 and see what comes up eg:

Births Sep 1918 (>99%)
Cook Elizabeth S Bull Orsett 4a 789
Births Mar 1921 (>99%)
Cook Rita L F Bull Orsett 4a 1149
Births Sep 1923 (>99%)
Cook Barbara V E Bull Orsett 4a 1076
Births Dec 1925 (>99%)
Cook Elsie F H Bull Orsett 4a 941
Births Jun 1928 (>99%)
Cook Richard H Bull Orsett 4a 985
Births Jun 1930 (>99%)
Cook Eileen Y Bull Orsett 4a 1030
