Biography

Anne, aka Annie, Cecelia Cook was born in February 1888 in Waterford, New London, Connecticut. She was the daughter of Timothy and Mary (O'Conner) Feeley as recorded in Annie's marriage record. Anne's mother, Mary, is enumerated in the 1900 U.S. Federal Census as head of household and a widow, b. April 1851, and who immigrated in 1883 from Scotland where she and her parents were born. Also enumerated therein is Annie age 12 along with her three sisters including Mary M. age 17, Nellie T. age 15, and Saddie age 10. The birthplace of Annie's father, Timothy, was Ireland as noted in the 1920 Federal Census. Additional information on Anne's parentage is pending ongoing research.
