Laura - have you tried searching for marriages and children on FreeBMD - http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

Do you have them with their parents in any census?

Laura, I've looked on FreeBMD and there are a few marriages for Frank L Cook and Arthur G Cook (and then there's those without middle initials) - it could be any of these.

I take it these aren't direct ancestors of yours?

Have you tried searching trees on this site in case anyone else has them?

Result!

I found Frank Leonard Cook in a tree on Ancestry. He apparently married a Louie Alicia Davis (1916-2007). Frank died in 1995.

From FreeBMD:

Marriages Sep 1938 (91%)
Cook Frank L Davis Edmonton 3a 3584
Davis Louie A Cook Edmonton 3a 3584

You can now search for any children they may have had.
