Frances Report 6 Dec 2015 11:37

From some years ago I have :-

1911 Census
COOK JOHN HENRY M 1866 45 Bradford
COOK CLARA ELLEN F 1862 49 Bradford
COOK NELLIE F 1892 19 Bradford
COOK BESSIE F 1895 16 Bradford
COOK ANNIE F 1896 15 Bradford
COOK WALTER M 1897 14 Bradford
COOK JAMES M 1899 12 Bradford

I am trying to find the births in FreeBMD but as they have used 'pet names' they are not all showing up. Perhaps in 1901 they have a different set of names and places of birth?

Many thanks,
Frances
