There is always on more thing to find :) Hope I find Adam soon ;)

James Cook (b 1861) I have his birth cert. shows no father and mother is Louisa Cook.
He turns up in 1871 census living with his Grandfather at age 10.
In 1881 census James (b 1861) is work on a farm.
In 1891 James(b 1861) has a wife Harriet and 5 children: Hannah, Louisa, Joseph, Edith and Walter.
In 1901 The family is found in Beever's Bridge. James and Harriet with Hannah, a son named James that is the same age as the Walter ten years before. Also there is  Marg Arnold. She maybe Harriet mother.

Now comes the question, How long did James (b 1861) live? Where is the best place to fine his death record? I have been looking at the UK BMD searchable records. No luck. I have been all the way up to 1961 which would have made him 100 years old. :) I know I have just missed him some how.

Wow that was interesting. :) His wife came over with people named Colley.  I have not seen a middle name on my Joseph. I do know the age is not a match. The Joseph I have was born 1885. I'm checking to see it there is an Uncle Joseph or the age was our of wack.
Thank you for the information. This is going to be fun hunt. :)

Yes,  :) I have him in Michigan. The 1920 census shows his wife and children. The family story says he came to the US then his future wife came a couple of years later. They married in DuBois PA. Then they came to Michigan. Little by little I have been able to track them.  :)

Just in case anyone is wondering, James Cook(1861) birth certificate came today.
There is no father listed. His mother is Louisa Cook. With a few quick searches I located her marriage in 1863.
A couple years after James was born.
That explains why the grandparents had James. Well maybe it did.
Anyway I found a marriage for Louisa Cook  Mar 1863  Goole 9c 629. The odd thing is that the page shows 2 women and one man.

Thanks again for your help with all of this.

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Passenger Ship Lists

Hi all

I think this is a quick question. Do passenger list usually show where a person was born?  I was trying to look up Joseph Cook leaving Liverpool arriving Philadelphia in 1908. I see a few Joseph Cook's listed. One of interest says he was born 1883. I hope it was  a transcription error. Would it be possible for someone to give it a look? My Joseph Cook was really born 1885 in Cowick, Yorkshire.
Thank you all so much.

GeoffE, tate and all

How about this scenario? When Alfred was about to marry the minister ask who is your father? He said the Gentleman Hartley.  (As I have been hunting Hartley turns up as a last name. I checked the baby names all over the internet and fine that less then 2% have hartley as a first name.)
Alfred's marriage certificate gives father name as Hartley and the father rank or profession as Gentlemen. Thinking about it, maybe Sarah Westland was a Mistress of a "Gentleman Hartley". Like he was too high in social rank to claim his son. Life was different back then ;)
