yes that is her Marieceleste...and that is her sister also ..Not the family Mike!

yes correct 1901..thank you for putting it up for me....

Sorry Cane, it was the 1891 (have amended).

I'm not too sure about that 1882 Salford birth being the right one, try this one:

England & Wales, FreeBMD Birth Index, 1837-1915

Name: Edith Ellen Crook
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1885
Registration district: Chorlton
Inferred County: Lancashire
Volume: 8c
Page: 752

Chorlton covers the Gorton civil parish.

MC is that not 1891 ?

Yes of course it is Mike! See above.

Although the father is Josiah on the two marriages he's calling himself Richard in 1901:

CROOK, Richard Head Married M 44 1857 Blacksmith Tyldesley, Lancashire
CROOK, Mary Wife Married F 49 1852 Tyldesley, Lancashire
CROOK, William Hy Son Single M 22 1879 Blacksmith Tyldesley, Lancashire
CROOK, Richard A Son Single M 19 1882 Railway Engine Stoker Tyldesley, Lancashire
CROOK, Edith E Daughter F 15 1886 Linen Tape Weaver Fancy Salford, Lancashire
CROOK, Emily Daughter F 10 1891 Salford, Lancashire
CROOK, Elizabeth A Daughter F 6 1895 Salford, Lancashire

Piece: 3737 Folio: 7 Page: 6
Registration District: Salford
Civil Parish: Salford

Address: 39, Robert Hall Street, Salford County: Lancashire

They seem to get a bit mixed up where the children were born but I'm not surprised with that many!

Cane, it would help to have the facts at the outset.

You had the details from the marriage cert i.e. father's name etc.

Why did you think Edith was born 1882 ?

are you sure that,that 1901 you found Marieceleste,isnt the 1891...i have william crook's the father,s death certificate and i am sure he died in 1891....please can you check...i will go track down where i put the death certificate

She wasn't with her family in 1911:

CROOK, Richard Head Married 32 years M 56 1855 Engine Smith Lancs Manchester
CROOK, Mary Married 32 years F 55 1856 Ches Macclesfield
CROOK, William Son Single M 30 1881 Stoker Lancs Manchester
CROOK, Emily Daughter Single F 21 1890 Shirt Machinist Lancs Manchester
CROOK, Alice Daughter Single F 16 1895 Shirt Machinist Lancs Manchester

Cane - how could her father be William if he was Josiah on the marriages (mind - he was Richard on some census).

I'm pretty certain that it's the same family in 1901 - look at children's names and ages.

Mike i do have the facts, i am working from memory,i had to re-check it on freebmd,but ended up with the wrong year so sorry...

sorry william was her grandad....

its ok Marieceleste...i know what happened to Josiah crook,he beggered of and left his family just after 1881....and his brother Richard apparently looked after them all

A bit out on her age on this 1911, but only one I can see:
