Hi, I'm looking for help going back in time with HG Cook b. 1861 (no date) in Islington. He married Edith Ellen Mallet in Norwich on 21 Dec 1887. I believe his father was Henry and his mother Elizabeth.. One of their children was Ellen Elizabeth b 4 Feb 1889 Hounslow. My HG served with the 19 Hussars in Egypt and I believed he told a little porky and signed up at a young age. Any help would be greatfully accepted
regards

The marriage cert would confirm his father's name ...

Thanks, its a possibility that he may have been born in 1866. Although his marraige cert shows him as been 26 in 1887 making his dob 1861 I have always thought he joined the army at the age of 13 (yes) as a groom the same as his father Henry's on his cert.
