Is there anyway to get more info from this?

Ok took me a while but I have the birth certificate order for James (1861) Cook. Fingers crossed it is the correct one.
https://www.gro.gov.uk/  that is where I ordered it from
Now the hard part is waiting the few days for it to get here.

Thank you all for your excellent help and support.

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.

well done Lee, agree with Bonnie that it's amazing what a combined effort on rootschat will produce- if  only I could find my Thomas Hargreaves in WRY.. that's dreaming on and it' s off topic. soory about that.

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.

Your Louisa Cook looks to be the same one who married my ancestor James Lambert in 1863.  At the time of their marriage, she had the following children, James Cook(e) born about 1861, Sophia Cook(e) born about 1857 and Joseph or John Cook(e) born about 1855.  I found this info on an old legal document.  If you google Louisa Lambert, Snaith and Cowick, removal document, Clark & Co. solicitors, you should be able to find it.  Or, you can search Louisa Lambert in the archives at www.eastriding.gov.uk     I know this is quite a while since your last posting but you may find this of interest.  I believe all 3 children were born out of wedlock.  She went on to have at least 4 more children with James Lambert.
