[loisand]

If any0ne could help I would be extremey grateful. The details I have are Mary Ann Cook died 27 May 1902 aged 72, Cook is possibly her married name, so I am looking for help on who she married and what her maiden name was. Thankyou in advance

i have gone backwards in the censuses as the only way to find out about mary ann. hope these are correct

winifred 35

1871 in fish shop booth st. handsworth

william cook 37 fishmonger b.smethwick
mary a 41 b, bham

joseph 5 b, handsworth

1861 talbot st. bham

william cook 27 iron moulder b. smethwick staffs
mary ann 31 b.bham
william h. 4 b. bham

the marriage isnt easy to find so i think the best thing is to get william henry cooks birth certificate. he was christened on 19.7.1857 at st. marys handsworth but he is down as born bham.

there is this birth record for william henry cook which looks right.
1857 jan-mar birmingham 6d 202
