Michael Cook B: 1828 England. DD: 6 Oct 1899 Cramahe, Ontario is my great grandfather. He married Agnes Crandell. Their son William Thomas Cook born Cramahe Ontario was my grandfather.

Looking for any info on the birthplace & ancestors in England. There is a connection to connection to William Surtees COOK & Henrietta.d My Ontario-born uncle was originally named Alton (derived from Altham) then changed his name to Elton - so the connection is very close.

I don't know where my ancstors were from or where Michael was born. His parents were John and Ann COOK.

when searching for John Cook, put the alternate spelling in as Cooke as well. This happened with my own line of Cook/Cooke
This site also might help for some record searching as it seems the family was prominent in Newburn, Northumberland, England.

A genealogy book on Altham with Cooke and William Surtees Cook. Now interesting thing about William S Cook is that he agreed before marrying his first wife Henrietta to change his name as the male line of Altham was gone. That is why he changed his name. It has him listed as the fourth son of Col John Cook and Elizabeth Surtees. So this could be where the link is between Michael Cook and Elizabeth Barrett Browning. The ebook is free to read and what not. :)

William Surtees Cook's journals. Might be an interesting read. :)

I hope this is good to get you started in the right direction. :) If I come across anything else, I will post it here! Will continue tracing the Cook/Cooke line.
Hi Dodie - thank you for all of this - I will follow these leads ! Kathy
Yes - that is the right family !

Kathy
This is my ancestor - I have this - though can't find the link back to his parents in the UK

Kathy
This might link John Cook and Ann Turnbull. Free google book, you want page 121.

[https://books.google.com/books?id=MT8EAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA121&lpg=PA121&dq=john+cook+and+ann+turnbull+england&source=bl&ots=hKO0jkaiNl&sig=55f6HqsKbWCPG4I-IWwXd7sAyto&hl=en&sa=X&sqi=2&ved=0ahUKEwiDnaSNwp3KAhUB7CYKHfnlALYQ6AEILjAD#v=onepage&q&f=false The Registers of Lesbury in the County of Northumberland: Baptisms, 1690-1812. Marriages 1689-1812. Burials, 1690-1812]
This might also prove a fruitful link seeing as there is a possible Turnbull connection.

http://www.library.turnbullclan.com/tca_genealogy/tca_all2-o/g0/p70.htm
so this link confirm John Cook & Ann Turnbull - John Cook was born in UK tho moved to Australia and had his 2 families there - the children's names do not match mine.  so by process of elimination  ...
