Cook family Cwmbran circa 1845

[carolgriff]

Hi

I have a Sarah Cook baptised 1845 daughter of William Cook and Ann. William was a miner both then and on Sarahs marriage cert 1865 when she also lived in Cwmbran. She had a brother John born approx 1842 who was baptised on the same day as Sarah.
I would be grateful if this family could be found on 1851 or 1861 census as I am trying to establish where Wlliam and Ann were born.
Any help appreciated

1851 isn't much help

Cwmbran Rd, Cwmbran, Llanfrechfa HO107/2450 folio 20 pg 33
William Cook head mar 44 miner b. Somerset
Hannah wife 38 b. Somerset
Elizabeth dau 17 b. Somerset
John son 9 b. Trevethin
Sarah dau 5 b. Panteg
Edward son 2 b. Panteg
William son 3 months b. Llanfrechfa upper
Nicholas Dunn lodger 18 collier b. Trevethin

can't see them in 1861 and there are parts of Monmouthshire missing from that year, but they are aound in 1841

Trevethin HO107/744/11 folio 30 pg 18
William Cook 35 collier
Ann 30
Elizabeth 8
all not born in county

I'll have another hunt around.

spotted a younger daughter, Susannah, in the Llanfrechfa marriages

which lead me to

1871 8 Stable Row, Llanfrechfa Upper RG10/5337 folio 62 pg 21
Ann Cook head widow 48 ? factory b. Somerset, Nailsea
William son 20 coal miner
Susannah dau 17 factory girl
Emilly dau 13
all children born Llanfrechfa

so one place of birth anyway.

possible marriage here

of William Cook & Hannah Parsons in 1832

Sarah's birth cert would confirm mother's maiden name
Sarah Cook dec qtr 1845 Pontypool vol 26 pg 132

probable death reg
William Cook sept qtr 1862 Pontypool vol 11a pg 71

Wow

thanks so much for all that info and useful links.
I see Susannahs marriage to henry Hyat looks interesting as 1881 census has him born Nailsea? Possble connection to Susannahs mam maybe??
I will have to order Sarah Cooks birth cert to get conf of mams maiden name and will post it once obtained. Its looking like my hubbys family are not as welsh as they thought though- Sarahs husband Jacob Griffiths family were from Ruardean Gloucester and now his welsh bride Sarah Cooks family appear to be from Somerset. Amazing how they had to move about back then.

Thanks again much appreciated.
