Annie B COOKE was my relation, and i do think he was married before now reading back on some stuff.

Kath in 1911 it says he was a bank manager, and Annie's brother sent his medals to Henry and it was sent to Barclays Bank !!!

So same one I'm thinking .....

Quite a few of my ancestors had age differences of up to 20 years between husband and wife even for first marriages. My parents had 10 years between them and my grandparents 19 years, both first marriages.

Kath. x

It happened ! Not a second marriage ??

Thank you both

His wife was born 1883, so he was quite a bit older then ???? :-0
