Hard to find his parents' marriage - there were a lot of Cook / Robinson marriages in Co Durham in the years before 1919.

Also impossible to identify siblings for the same reason.

Can't tell if he married or not - again, there are lots of marriage records for men named Anthony R Cook.

Unless you know he was in the Forces, there's always the chance that he was unfit to serve or was in a Reserved Occupation

You need to get his birth cert for his parents names

Seems he was given his mums maiden name as one of his Christian names

Not seeing him on the 1939 register
