”Whatever happened to baby Ethel?”
I am trying to find ETHEL COOK(E) born11 Jul 1886 at Kent Lane, Church Coppenhall, Cheshire
Birth certificate does not give a father.
Mother was LOUISA JANE COOK. She was born in 1867 in Montreal, Canada according to the GRO Regimental Indices as was her brother Charles born 1871 in Quebec Canada.
Assuming ETHEL is illegitimate I am trying to find her on the 1891 census as a 4 year old. Her mother, Louisa, married John Whittingham in Sep 1889 and they went on to have several children.
So it looks as though Ethel was not with her mother.
Her Grndparents were CHARLES COOK (1842 Cheshire) and ELIZABETH MARTYN (1840 Truro Cornwall). CHARLES Snr. was in the KRRC and he an ELIZABETH went to Canada where their two children were born.
Both parents and LOUISA are on the 1871 Canadian census
LOUISA JANE born 1867 Montreal Canada and CHARLES R 1871 Quebec 1871 from the GRO Regimental Indices.
The regiment returned to the UK in 1877 so the Grandparents should be on the 1881 census. But then I discovered that they went from Aldershot in 1880 to Ireland.
Louisa aged 14 is a servant on the 1881 (RG11 3494 126 4) to a family in Macclesfield.
CHARLES R aged 9 1881(RG11 3539 81 44) census is living with his aunt JANE GARNER and her husband Transcribed as Farmer on the census.
So it looks as though their parents died or went to Ireland in 1880. In neither case could they help with baby ETHEL.
ETHEL is on the 1891 (RG13 3358 98 1) census as visiting a Mary Cross and family aged 14.
I am trying every possible forum to see if someone can help. I have ETHEL born 1886 and marrying Herbert Price in 1909.
I apologise if this is a bit disjointed but the text keeps jumping!
