I'm unable to find the cert at the moment but he was b 1862 ish and I remember he had entered his fathers occupation as an engine smith? He married an Elizabeth ann Sloan on the 22nd Dec 1889 in Toxteth st michael. In the census he's enetered as a platers labourer? and in the 1901 census a ships rivetter labourer. They had several children including my x3gfather Ambrose Cook. Thanks for your reply :)
