Research Notes

Probable marriage to Ann Cook in Eckington, Worcestershire on 22 June 1845, maybe a transcription error for Hannah.^[10][11]

There was an 1841 census record for Hannah Cook in Birlingham, Worcestershire, the birthplace of William's wife Hannah.^[12]

• George Cook Male 40 Worcestershire
• Mary Cook Female 40 Worcestershire
• Hannah Cook Female 15 Worcestershire
• Eliza Cook Female 12 Worcestershire
• William Cook Male 10 Worcestershire
• Charles Cook Male 7 Worcestershire
• George Cook Male 4 Worcestershire
• Mark Cook Male 2 Worcestershire
• Eliza Pheysey Female 11 Worcestershire

Possible death in Pershore during 1859, aged 33 (approx 1826 birth year)^[13] but this conflicts with George Cook being his son.
