Anyone With Ancestry?

Post by Miss Poohs » Sun May 11, 2008 2:36 pm

I'm hoping some one with Ancestry would be willing to have a look for this marriage and birth for me?

I can't find it anywhere in Scotland so think they may have married and had their daughter in England.

The couple were

William Robert Cooke who married Magaret (Maggie) Todd, I'd hazard a guess between 1906 and 1913 ish.

They had a daughter Eveline Cooke June 1913 but I can't find her birth cert in Scotland either.

All I know is, at one point Maggie lived with her family in Barrow in Furness.

I'd be very grateful if someone would take a look for me.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Janice,

Free BMD shows a marrige in S. Shields, 1901 of a Robert William Cooke to a female Todd.

There is a birth of an Eveline but shows mother's name as Jubb. Mistranscription???

Regards,
Annette

In 1901 Maggie was only 13 so I doubt that's her - the birth is a possibility though.

Todd - Jubb not a complete impossiblity is it?
