Hi

I am trying to find information about LINDA BRIGGS COOK, born c 1896 in OLDHAM, Lancashire. Her mother I think was Elizabeth Cook, and grandmother Kitty Cook. In the 1911 census Linda, Elizabeth and Kitty were living together in Royton, Oldham.

Linda went on to marry Thomas Schofield in Oldham 1923 and they had a son Jack born 1925 Oldham.

Any information would be greatly appreciated

Thank you Linda
