Marriage Look up Olive May Cook 1925

[Beg Clonrode...]

When I did a check on her birth it list as being 1908

The Auckland death found by Beg shows this lady to have been aged 68 years in 1972. Therefore born abt. 1904.

Hi Minnie...

The father of the 1908 birth is Thomas, not Alex as mentioned in the above PapersPast snippet.

Hi again texasjoe...

Possibly this is the cemetery record of "Mr and Mrs Alex COOK of Nightcaps" mentioned in PapersPast. Simply because Ancestry has a 1930 mention of an Alex Y COOK living in Nightcaps.

Gore Cemetery
Alexander Young COOK and Martha Mary COOK

There's a 1903 marriage between Alexander Young COOK and Martha Mary Foster DAVIDSON

Still just guessing

Beg

Hi kimmie
 
I have just looked at the one that you mention here , did a check on the death which mentions 1970 age is listed as 62 which would make her possible birth year 1908

If this one has the parents listed as being Thomas William Cook & Elizabeth Cook nee Hunter
will wait and see if this is correct

Not sure how to go about finding her parents unless your ordered a marriage certificate for her.  But I have found the article on papers past thats already been mentioned that the 1925 marriage her parents are different.

You asked re the marriageable age in 1925, an issue we sweated over last year. in 1925 it was 14 years for males & 12 years for females. In 1933 the minimum age of marriage was raised to 16 years.

Hi alama
That seems very young , but with 2 girls having the same name makes this very interesting  Kimmie the one that married in 1925 and the one that married in 1931 the later one, year of death looks like to me to follow that lead as it is in the Taranaki region and so far as I know the family may not have  moved the South Island.

again thank you all for the help
