Looking for
Florence Chorlotte Cook, (formally Jones)
She married John George Cook about 1907 they lived in Stepney London. They had one child, Albert John Cook born about 1910
Also in the same household were stepchildren, Edith Florence Jones, Cyrul Arthur Jones, Dorothy Daury Jones, I asume they were related to my grandmother Winifred May Jones born 1905 she is also down as a stepchild aged 6
Maybe someone can help me with this puzzle as my nan was adopted out later on to Warwick and I think that this Jones was her real mum. Thank You

John George Cook married Florence Charlotte Jones - Dec qtr 1906 - Mile End district - Ref. 1c 706. This is from the Free BMD site.

Arthur James Jones married Florence Charlotte Norman - Dec qtr 1890 - Mile End district - Ref. 1c 966. Also from Free BMD site.

Birth of Florence Charlotte Norman - Sept qtr 1868 -Mile End Old Town district - Ref.1c 504.

Could it be possible that one or both of the parents died after 1911 and she was adopted out because of that?

Do you know anything about the other children?

How do you know this Winifred May Jones is yours? Do you have her marriage cert?

Florence is a widow in the original image ,John is a soldier.

When you say "adopted out to Warwick", do you mean to the place, or that the adoptive parents were named Warwick?

As much info as you can give, it will all help. Under what name did your nan marry, and when, where and to whom? for instance.

Three people have a Winifred Warwick born 1904 in Pimlico, or in "unknown", in their trees here at GenesReunited. Is that your Winifred?


This is sister Daisy of the 1911 Winifred, her correct name:

Births Sep 1902
Jones Dorothy Daisy Mile End 1c 420

so this would be that Winifred:

Births Mar 1905
Jones Winifred May Mile End 1c 434

(Mile End was previously Stepney district)

This looks like the correct one

Marie had another thread on chat a couple of days ago but hasn't been back to it.

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards.page/board/chat/thread/1254889

This is what she posted.

My nan's marriage cert says maiden name Warwick (formally Jones).
so I looked up Jones and found the family,
The couple (Mr and Mrs Jones) had been married only 4 years with own child aged 1 (Ref: 1911 census) also living in the house were stepchildren ages 6-19 (my nan being 6yrs old).
Nan was born 1905
I am finding it hard to get my head round the above, because to add to my confusion, I think she later adopted by Mr and Mrs Warwick,
She never mention the name Jones during her lifetime and all papers she had were for Warwick. (Plus I know my nan had a brother Fred Warwick- but he may have been her half brother or step bother, It all seem straight-forward until I read the 1911 census saying stepdaughter to Jones. (nan said her mum died young and we assumed she meant Mrs Warwick!) can anyone help Please?


I presume this must be the marriage she refers to.

Would you mind acknowledging posts on your thread in chat on the same subject.

Thank You all for so much help, I will search through the info and try and match it to my nan, I do not know for sure if the Winifred May Jones I have found is the right one, and no way of knowing unless someone else in the Jones or Cook family knows the real story, e.g.: maybe one of the other siblings past on info about what happened to them all, e.g.: Winifred being adopted out to a couple named Warwick. (Maybe the mother or father died and they were all adopted out). I know her adopted parents Warwick did not want people to know she was adopted and so my nan pretended for so long that Warwick was her real parents she never spoke of her real parents or any siblings, but she was young and may not have remembered or told to forget.. There were older children living with Mr and Mrs Cook and I am hoping they know what happened and pass the info on. My nan was born 9th Feb 1905, I will order a copy of her brith cert befpre procedding. Thanks all once again your all so helpful.
