Hello,

I have been researching the COOK family tree for the last 20years and had always drawn a blank for my G.G.G granfathers (James Cook) marriage to Ann Manning!

I think I may well have found the missing link - at least this theory does seem to make sense . .

I need to cross ref, my tree and come back to you . .

I do know though James Cook (snr) was born Abt 1816 and marries again much later on (as a widow) to Eliza Wakefield in 1881 aged 65 or so!

He died later 2nd March 1890 - 21, Blenheim Road, Barton St Mary, Glouce.

Need to a bit more checking and will report back

Many thanks for your information by the way! I cant believe I might make some progress after all these years.

Regards
Paul Cook
