Trying to find any information on my great grandfather William John Cook. He was born in England c1846 and was a ships captain. He married Mary Jane, also born England. They migrated to New Zealand as some of their children were born in NZ. Childrens names were Herbert, John, Grigg, Albert, Jack, May, Mabel, Katie & Fredrick. I know Fredrick was born in New Zealand 1881.
Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Susan,
No I don't know when they went to NZ but it was after his marriage. I only know my grandfather Fredrick was born in new zealand 1881 so obviously before then
