Hi, Thank you for you reply. The name that I have is Annie Mantle. I think that she died in Devon. Don't worry about looking for her. Its just that I had the name Cook(s) and thought that it might be assocoated with shoes.

Cooks isnr a name that i recognise ( I m local ) i wiould have thought if he was in the shoe trade it would have said cobbler/cordwainer or something like that what was his name

An ancestor is reported as living at home and worked at Cooks. I wondered if it was a shoe factory or somewhere in Northampton. It is written on a piece of paper that has been handed down to me!! Might have been about 1900's
