Fred Cook married Gertie Irene Patchett in 1935 in Oldham
They had a son Geoffrey born in 1944.
I have recentley found out Gertie was my dads half sister so would love to find out more about the Cooks
I have found 2 births for Fred 1911 in Oldham and 1912 in Ashton. under Lyne. Both places are close together.
If anyone knows more I would be so pleased to hear
thank you
Maddie

If you get the marriage certificate it will have the name of Fred's father, which could help for searching the 1911 census, or for getting the birth certificates.

Violet 1889 married 5 years nee Purcell.
Frederick 1908/9
