[Darksecretz]

Resurrecting this thread now... going to see if it can be chipped at.

but not holding out much in the way of hope. Maybe this is a common name too far?

[vera2013]

I don't appear to have that in my tree Vera, well, technically I do have a lot of instances in my tree where I have the census saved but they are blanked out in my tree. I had a session where things I had saved were not showing so suspect this is from that.

I don't have a sub atm so can't say for definite if this is wrong or right.

I did see the Cook/Robinson marriage but couldn't see them in the census to follow up.

I will put up that 1861

I think there may have been another child of Mary Ann, a Lucy Ann Cooke on a bap record. Will re-check that.

Got nowhere with Cook/Robinson in Census after marriage date of 1852.

I think that you may have something there Vera, there is a death for a Mary Ann Cooke in MM in 1855 with a birth yr of 1819. That would fit so easily with MAR. I wonder if John then remarried?

yep that certainly looks familiar, after Blowers death Harriet goes on to marry Robert Wood. [and probably Joseph Dakin too!] I had seen the image before but couldn't account for Harriet Ann Cook!

I don't suppose the marriage is there is it? in 1852? if not I'll have to send off for it. [and also the death too in 1855]

Yes I think that the burial could be her, though I suspect i'll have to get the m/cert first if it isn't in the PRs [so suspect it'll be a reg office job]

Not sure about Lucy Ann though.. though her death could be child related?

According to what I have seen Lucy was born in 1854 and bapt in 1855.

there is a John Cook death in 1854 aged 78! [I wonder if that is her husband?] Marys I mean.
and also another John Cook but that is an infant aged 0 in same q/dist as the John above too.

so might not belong at all with no MMN being noted.

I can't see any marriage on parish registers or even banns. Or 're-marriage for John Cook/e. Not seeing anything on Lucy Ann.

No father on baptism. So that is probably just the child of a Mary Ann Cook single woman. Not likely also, perhaps, to give Ann as second name twice.

I have ordered the m/cert Mary Ann Robinson-John Cooke. Though I suspect this will take 4-6 weeks to get to me.

I was looking at a family Cook in Long Clawson with a John, son daughter Mary and mother Lucy. Father is Joseph. Wonder if there is a connection to your Mary Ann (John) and a Lucy Ann (Mary).

Unfortunately another John Cook in same area. Both remained single for a while

I was just going to suggest. Ours has FMP too so I never renewed my sub this time, and will keep going until they stop and then review
