Yes so it does turns out that Jane cecilia was the widow of John Arthur Cooke! She then married John Arthur's brother Thomas Edward cooke in 1900 and had 4 children to him. I can't thank you enough for your information I am very green at this and wouldn't know where to find this information! Thanks again👍🏻

Have you researched Clyde's siblings, Lilias and Jack?

Hi Beck18,
