There are Herbert Hook marriages in Bristol in 1917, 1947, 1932 and 1955 ...

Still no idea what time period you are talking about.

Marilyn, if you give us a few important facts, like his date of birth, when he came to Canada, parents' names (which would be on a marriage record in Ontario), we might be able to help a little better. Seriously -- nobody here *knows* Herbert Hook, so nobody has a clue what to be looking for.

Canadian records are impossible to access for a large part of the 20th century -- privacy legislation prevents the disclosure of personal info like births, marriages and deaths. If we know what time period is in question, we'll know whether info might be found.

That could be him he came from a family that owned a Funeral business and his bother and him had a taxi firm in Bristol when he returned. I have a picture of him and a lady and baby with a Toronto address. He then had another family in Bristol my mother in law was the child.

A Herbert Hook enlisted for WW1 in Canada. He was born 14 May 1885, Bristol, Gloucester. He was married, a chauffeur, living at 1179 Davenport Rd., Toronto, Ontario.
Oops, just noticed this one is William Herbert Hook.

Thankyou very much this is a big mystery as it seems he left a family in Canada and started another in England when he returned.

1901 and 1911 censuses in Canada are here:

Also 1906 census of Prairie Provinces.

There is a Herbert Hook on the 1911 census who was born July 1887 in England and emigrated 1903. He's a hired hand in Ontario.
