Early NZ? birth help please Cooke/Cook

[epenwell]

Took me a while but came up with one good match right at the end for birth of Rose Anna Cook 1883 Charleston #515

Closest I could find for a marriage possibility for her
1920 Rose Hannah Cook to Leonard Andrew Young #5183

Couldn't find a death entry for Rose Anna

Closest I could find for a birth for Ellen  was 
Helen Cook 1874 Greymouth #225

4 poss marriage entries for Ellen between 1896 and 1919
1900 to Andrew Stevens #3484
1904 to Thomas Cook #3261
1910 to Walter Penwell #4273
1916 to Harold Oliver Scott #2411
If the marriage entries had place of marriage on them could be more selective

Unable to find Eliza death

There was an Eliza Hall visitor with Abraham's family UK census 1871 aged 32, she may have married into the family.

Putting 2 and 2 together gradually together with heaps of help from Lucy2 and Mark2

Hi
The Rose Hannah Cook who married Leonard Andrew Young was a great Aunt of mine, and Ellen Cook married Arthur Penwell in 1910 - Ellen and Arthur were my grandparents.   Rose and Ellen's parents were Paul Cook and Elizabeth (nee Chambers), and they lived in Oaonui, in Taranaki.
Paul was born in Scalby Yorkshire in 1855 and emigrated to New Zealand in 1880 aboard the "Maraval".  I have reasonably good details of this Cook family - particularly from 1800 to 1984.

Welcome to RootsChat Eric.

Thanks for sifting those names from the mix and the added information, helpful to me and no doubt others searching the Cook name as well.

I was sidestepping the direct line of my own search there into another branch, just looking for possible links.

When I discussed some of this search with elderly aunt at the time, she seemed to think name changed in her line from Cook to Cooke when her grandparents were in Taranaki to avoid some mix up but couldn't clarify and of course both relatively common anyway.

Good to hear from you Mare
My Taranaki Cook's have continued to use the Cook name - which is fairly common surname. It takes a lot more sorting out when researching a common name than it does with more uncommon surnames.  Although even with uncommon surnames their can be many variants which need to be considered - especially in the 1800's and earlier.  Its always good to have someone else to compare notes with even if not related, so can eliminate some people rather than making incorrect assumptions.

Belated welcome to RootsChat Scott, I haven't been about here since you posted.

Hopefully Eric will be able to share a few snippets with you if you have a connection there.
