I can find Henry in the workhouse in 1891. I see from your tree that you do not have much on his sister. Do you have her marriage to William Lee in 1899 and Henry is with them on the 1901 census (she is shown as Emma). |

Hello Potty, the tree your looking at is mine, Henry was my g grandfather. He was born in the workhouse, think he made up his father to save face. He actually told his children he was an orphan and never mentioned his mother or sister to them. |

A tree on ancestry has the death for Henry George Cook (who married Jessie Maud Gedge in 1911) in Scotland in 1940. There is an image of the death cert, which being Scottish, gives his parents - Richard Cook and Martha Cook - maiden surname unknown. Richard was a Fisherman. |

Does Henry give a father on his marriage cert? |

The Martha Cook in the 1881 is shown as single - the Mary Catchpole in the 1911 is shown as the widow of Henry Cook's brother. So, unless Martha Cook married a Mr Cooke, it doesn't look as if it is the same woman. |

I have Martha Cook 1881 census with daughter Mary living in Yarmouth with a William Grimmer. Says born 1852, I don't have her birth certificate but am sure she was born 1851 as her mother Elizabeth died shortly after she was born. |

Sorry greyghost, don't have any information on Benjamin as yet, as need to get marriage certificate. |

This is definitely Martha on 1911 census as Henry married in 1911 and has the same address. |

Trying to build up a picture. Purely because this Benjamin is in Yarmouth in 1891 just a couple of years before the marriage - is this the Benjamin that married Martha? If so I'm not able to pin point him or any of his family on earlier census |

Martha Cook had two children before she married, Henry G Cook and Mary A E Cook. I have most of the information for the children it just Martha I'm struggling with. |
