So my G Grandfather George Snook and your GG Grandfather Samuel Stephen Snook were brothers.

Hello, there was an Alfred Thomas Snook (1871-1943) who was son of Samuel Stephen Snook (1848-1892) & Mary Ann Homery, grandson of our common ancestors Samuel Snook (1811 - 1872) & Caroline Chinn. He married Mary Ann Elkington in 1896. Would this Alfred (not Albert) be your ancestor?

I'm still not sure about the man in the daguerreotype, he could be from another branch of the family. In the 1911 census there is one entry between that of George Snook and that of his daughter Caroline and son-in-law George Thompson so they were (almost) next door neighbours. Also in the same...

A fascinating story and great to see those images of our ancestors. Regarding the Isle of Man photo - I think the other man might be George Snook, the youngest child of George Snook and Mary Ann Tovey. He would have been 25 and had not yet married, and the 1901 census shows that at the time he...

Here are two images, I'm 99% certain they are Edward Snook, one c1905, the other c1910-15, I don't know where the latter was taken.

Your diagram is very clear, and consistent with my knowledge of these two families. Looking back through this thread it looks as though some years ago there were other contributors whose ancestors appear in it. Are they still out there? - the jigsaw is coming together nicely and a couple more...

So Elizabeth Barnett was my Great Great Great Grandmother too! I expect there are lots of cousins around

I have a couple of photos from around 1920 of family at a house which I had assumed was in Essex but could be Knowle, one with an unknown lady who could be Elsie or possible Gladys Thompson. Anther coincidence re Harborne - one of my student years was spent living in Stapylton Avenue which is...

A lovely story!

This wonderful story ties in with my own research and the very few anecdotes passed down my side of the family. As far as I can tell my grandfather Edward was the only one to leave the Birmingham area. His story is also tinged with tragedy. In 1895 at the age of 24 he married Florence Blizard...

Hello Chris & everyone My grandfather was Edward Snook (later the Rev.) who was born 1872. I have tried to build his story. His parents were George Snook and Mary-Ann Tovey, who was Elizabeth Tovey's older sister. Mary-Ann died in 1876 and George was left with 5 children, the oldest of whom -...

Hello, I am a new member as of today. I have been researching my mother’s (Snook) family for some time. I happened to do a random search on my Great Grandfather George Snook and found your site and it’s a very pleasant surprise! The threads do tie up a couple of loose ends in my own family...
