Again I really appreciate all the work you have put in, you've found all this in only a few minutes, thank you so much I really appreciate it. I can add all these to my growing family tree!!! If there are any relatives of the two children, or indeed if they are still alive and would like the photograph, I'd be pleased to send them a copy of it.

I have a photograph (taken in 1925 this time!!!) which shows two children, a boy and a girl aged about 6 and 9 years of age. On the back, as well as the date, it states that they are the grandchildren of "Cousin Teresa" (Mrs. Stirrup) their mother being her daughter Martha (I do not know the latter's surname nor the names of her children). It was taken in a studio and the boy is wearing riding clothes, (a hard velvet riding cap, wearing a hunting horn on his belt, and holding a riding crop in his hand, - appropriate considering his grandparents' surname!!!) It says they lived in Swansea at this time. In my family history there are so many Teresas I am not sure which Cousin Teresa it could be. It could either be:
1. Teresa Tyler born 1880 daughter of Maria (nee ROOK) and John Tyler.
2. Mary Teresa Rook, born 1844 or 1845, daughter of Joseph Rooke (born 1815) (which would make her the sister of Elizabeth A. Rook, who also moved to Swansea from Coleford),
3. Theresa Rooke, (born 1883) daughter of Joseph Rooke (born 1857) and Elizabeth (nee Hale).
4. Teresa Rook (born 1863), daughter of Paul Rook [Brother of the older of the Joseph Rooks above] (born 1831) and Hannah (nee Hawkins).

Does anyone know which of these is the correct cousin? I have found a Thomas Stirrup in the 1881 census born in Truro and his brother William born in Pimlico, London both living with their brother-in-law's family (Thomas and Ellen Keast) in Evans Terrace,Swansea, and I am wondering if the husband of Teresa would be one of these brothers? At this stage both the brothers were single.
