[avm228]

Henry Cooke was born c1858-61 Warwickshire according to the censuses and may have died in Bolton Mar qtr 1929 aged 68.

If that's him then there would be plenty of time for Margaret to have remarried subsequently.

Henry Cooke married Mary J Ainscow in Bolton 1888.

Thank you so much ... as I feared a new Margaret trail ... she liked getting married :-)

Yes that's him and there is a burial in Heaton Cemetery Bolton for a Harry Cooke 29th January 1929  . It is on the site I quoted earlier.

Thank you both  ... that is indeed him.

I have joined that site and checked the record ... address matches.

Good morning 
Henry's death certificate may give you a home address and the informant's name.

Indeed, the burial record may give you an address- hoping that he didn't die in hospital!

If Margaret was the informant, then we would know they were still together at that time at least.

There are a couple of Mary Jane Cooke deaths in 1910 who are also buried in Heaton cemetery so perhaps Henry was buried with his first wife.

Good Evening

I did get the Burial Record and he died at 158 Black Horse Street so it is him .. no informant unfortunately.

Cant read the description .. possibly just says ?

Thanks for the pointer to the site ... I like it :-)

Thank you Heywood for sending me to deceased online ... I have found Margaret !!

Margaret Ann Cooke .. widow of Harry died 1st October 1952 at Ashton Under Lyne General Hospital .. aged 82

Buried at Heaton Cemetery Bolton

She is buried with Harry

AND Fredrick Thomas Platt buried 15th July 1935 and John Platt buried 15th February 1962

So there they all are .. I am lost for word really.

Mum was right about everything ... his brothers were Platt in the end

She was also correct about Frederick being insane  .. he died in Rainhill Mental Institution Liverpool. Address at death 158 Blackhorse Street Bolton

John Platt was a crane driver from 863 Wigan Road Bolton

I have ordered Alices death certificate but hopefully now have 3 more to order and lots of new info to digest

Cannot believe how much more I know than when I first posted a few weeks ago

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart ... this means a lot xx

Looks like mums story about Fredricks suicide may be correct.

Hello 

I am delighted for you. What a find and even better that you did it yourself and with the other names, you know that you are right!
It's amazing news and I feel lost for words and quite emotional for you. It's super!
