1861 census - Can anyone trace Joseph Cook(e) b.c.1857 s/o William Cooke please?
In 1881, 91 and 1901 he was b.c 1857 at Sheffield.
He married (aged 21) Annie Lunt 29.3.1877 at Wolstanton, Staffs and gave his father's occupation as an engineer. Deceased.
I have checked ancestry.co.uk and Find Past with no obvious entries.
Not being familiar with Yorkshire or Staffs I am at a loss!
Many thanks.

They are definitely called Cooke ten years earlier ...
1851
Wolstanton HO107/2002 Folio 220 Page 35
William Cooke Head M 24 ? Engineer Cheshire Barthomley
Olive do Wife M 20 Stafford Wolstanton
Kidgrove (?), Wolstanton
In the last quarter of 1849 there was a marriage at St John, Goldenhill between a William Cook and an Olive Chadwick, which might be relevant.

ps I cannot read the word preceding "Engineer" for William but he is, without doubt, an Engineer of some kind.

In the first quarter of 1868 at Sheffield, I think an Olive Cook married a John Jones.
I also think that they appear on the 1871 census at Wolstanton RG10/2844 Folio 27 Page 47 and that Joseph Cooke is listed as Joseph Coogle (on Ancestry)
