Hi Everyone,
I was just wondering if anyone with a bit of time and patience would mind having a look at a couple of census returns and giving an opinion on whether it`s the same family or not.
Theres plus points and negative points- on the plus side all the kids have the same names, in the same order and with more or less the same ages, and the places of birth correspond.
One big negative is the wild fluctuations in mum and dad`s ages, and also the discrepancy with mother`s name on the 1861, however I`m quickly coming to the opinion that the laws of physics and logic don`t really exist in the world of genealogy, so anything`s possible!
It`s the Cook family I`m interested in; John, Mary etc..
1891: RG12/4195/72/25
1881: RG11/5053/144/20
1871: RG10/5073/83/11 (trans. as Cock on Ancestry)
1861: RG9/3819/30/51
Any opinions would be much appreciated,
Thanks,
Craig
