  • Ephraim Cook

    I am trying to find a "lost" ancestor for a friend and have hit a brickwall - does anyone have a sledgehammer?

    The details are:

    EPHRAIM COOK born Crowland, Lincolnshire 1854.

    The family are shown on the 1891 Census living at 137 Fortyacre Lane, Canning Town, West Ham - Reference RG12 Piece 1319 Folio 138 Page 52 - his place os birth is shown as "Croton" Lincolnshire. His wife Sarah Walton was born 1854 in Moulton, Lincolnshire. In addition to the children shown on the Census a further child was born in 1899. On the 1901 Census Sarah Cook is shown as a visitor in Holbeach, Lincolnshire she is shown as "married" - Reference RG13 Piece 3039 Folio 26 Page 10. Two of her children shown on the 1891 Census are with her but the child born in 1899 is not shown. The other children are in their teens and are probably working elsewhere, but Ephraim their father has disappeared.

    Apparently Ephraim could also be known as James or Thomas Cook/Cooke!

    I found one Ephraim Cook who was born and died in Buckinghamshhire but that is the only death I have found to date.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Also on the 1891 census, there is a possible second surname he could be under- Tomlin? Do you know any reason for this?

        Ephraim Cook

        Yes I saw that someone had made an amendment to the name on Ancestry. I tried to amend the place of birth and that is when I saw the name Tomlin, I don't know who made the amendment but he is definitely NOT a Tomlin.

            Sorry Tessie

            I wan't given the nameof the child born in 1899 - I did look at Cook births and there are quite a few registered in West Ham and of course the mother's single name is not shown.

                  Thank you so much for the information you have found.

                  At least it gives me something to get my teeth into!

                    I've been looking for Ephraim in 1901, but not having much success.
                    I have found his son though:

                      I went back and had a look for William in 1851. Looks like Sarah was a 2nd wife...
