Member Since: March 2003 Posts: 2,377 Send Message	From some years ago I have :- 1911 Census COOK JOHN HENRY M 1866 45 Bradford COOK CLARA ELLEN F 1862 49 Bradford COOK NELLIE F 1892 19 Bradford COOK BESSIE F 1895 16 Bradford COOK ANNIE F 1896 15 Bradford COOK WALTER M 1897 14 Bradford COOK JAMES M 1899 12 Bradford I am trying to find the births in FreeBMD but as they have used 'pet names' they are not all showing up. Perhaps in 1901 they have a different set of names and places of birth? Many thanks, Frances
