Looking for any details on George Cook who married Frances Elizabeth Davies. They had one son Frank Victor Cook (b. 10.08.1898 d.12.01.1951).

Any information would be helpful.

Thanks,

Chris.

Chris - what sort of details? Where were they from? Have you found them in any census? Have you found their marriage and got the certificate? MC

Far too many matches on 1911 to wade through until Chris comes back and provides answers.

Christopher where does your information come from?
Do you have any certificates ?
Have you seen the family on a census ?

What would be helpful is if you came back to your thread and answered some of the questions put to you

Unless you do, its a complete guess....Frank could have been born in timbuktu ;)
