List of Places in Tendring Registration District can be found here

If the immigration records match with the family, you may find that the MC doesn't list a (birth) father. The BC would be more informative by giving the mother's name.

Possibly his birth - note that mothers maiden name is the same as his surname. Although a Cook might have married a Cook, it usually indicates that the mother was unmarried

From the Australian NA site - day of birth left for Cecil, others editted out

COOK Cecil Robert Raymond born 27 January 1920; Ann (nee Carroll) born October 1928; Patricia Ann born February 1947; Margeret Rose born April 1953; Raymond Alexander born December 1948; Frederick John born November 1951; Douglas Robert born April 1960; travelled per FAIRSKY departing UK on 3 May 1963 under the Assisted Passage Migration Scheme.

Extracting information about Cecil from the above.
His declared name in full was

Cecil Robert Raymond Cook
DOB 27 Jan 1920

You are obviously in contact with his son (on Ancestry) - is Cecil/Cyril still alive?

If not, when did he die? Australian records show mother and father up to 1985

Certificates aren't held in London unless you are thinking of local register office. However unless you pay big money you can't get the cert on the one visit

Far easier is to order it online from the GRO

Dave - just order the cert through GRO site - £9.25.

It will probably be cheaper and quicker than visiting London !

there is a tree on the "other" site is that your tree coz there is some possible usefull info on there

Cecil and Ann/Annie (name depending on which record you look at) seem to have lived in Corporation Street in Islington in the 1950s according to the Electoral Rolls.

In 1959 and 1960 they appear to have moved:

London, England, Electoral Registers, 1832-1965
Name: Cecil R Cook
Year: 1960
County or Borough: Lewisham
Ward or Division/Constituency: Lewisham South
Street Address: 32 Dunfield Road

Ann Cook at same address.

Why do you think you need to go to the records office?

Sounds like he was a £10.00 pom

Hello Dave, he has a middle initial of R on the marriage record - do you know what it stands for?
