Hi guys,

Thank you for all your help and info on GA Cooke. I have most of the info already including a marriage certificate which just gives where the bride and groom were living, no clues to his birthplace. His army records do not show his birthplace either. I ordered the only birth certificate that I thought was a match but it turned out to be wrong, so I am stumped. I have also contacted the West Yorks Reg. museum but they do not hold any personal records. The only one that I have come close to is the Sheffield one 1911 census as suggested.

Regards,

Sue.

Sorry all, I neglected to mention in my original post that I am looking for his place of birth which is eluding me.

Sue.

This looks like the birth to me:-


Name: COOK, George Alfred
Registration district: Sheffield
County: Yorkshire
Year of registration: 1892
Quarter of registration: Apr-May-Jun
Mother's maiden name: Not available before 1911 Q3
Volume no: 9C
Page no: 564

Is this the one you have already purchased?

This is the same family as the 1911 one in the 1901 census:-

If you buy the marriage certificate for George and Amy Alice is will confirm whether or not George's father is called Alfred as in this census record.

I wonder if this could be the marriage of George Alfred Cooke's parents (if the 1911 census is the correct family):-


Name: COOKE, Alfred
Registration district: Sheffield
County: Yorkshire
Year of registration: 1886
Quarter of registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
Spouse's last name: Not available before 1912
Volume no: 9C
Page no: 446

MarriageFinder: Alfred Cooke married one of the following people:

RONKSLEY, Annie Elizabeth
SAYLES, Emiline Gertrude<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
CASE, Albert

Dear Kath,

Thanks for your efforts to find George, but it is George Arthur not Alfred and I believe his father was Frederick William who was deceased on GA's marriage certificate in 1819 and that is all I know. But on the other hand these others could be relatives.
