Hi

Trying to find any information on : The Cook side of my Grandmothers family.
There was a Horace Frederick Cook (known as Fred b. approx 1880) he married a lady called Lizzie Cook (b. approx 1885) (I think they were both from the Bethnal Green area of London) they had 7 children (Born in the Bow area of London): Elizabeth, Rose (Born may 1913) , Florence (Flo), David and Eleanor, as well as 2 other children Sonny and Ivy who died of Influenza during WW1,

I realise i dont have a terrible amount to go by but any info at all would be much appreciated

Thanks Nicola

Hi
Not really sure where Horace was born, my nan guessed it was probably London, as that was where lizzie (his wife) was from,
Thanks for the help..
Was the marriage in 1907 between Lizzie Faircloth and Frederick Cook ?
