Are these in your family?

Not mine but almost wish I could find a criminal. Would make it a bit more interesting than Ag. Labs.

Could someone find the Cook family on census records then maybe we could look to see if anyone has them in their tree.

This is the only family I can find in Middlesbrough with a John and Sarah with sons John and Frank. The ages of the sons are out a little bit but could be them:-

Wonder where they were on 1901 census then, in prison? I would love a photo of my rellies from that period, criminal or not.

this one?

James Cook b. 1728 Marton, Holderness
grand larceny of New South Wales
armed, dangerous

With all my North East ancestors you'd think I would find at least one rogue! The only one I have actually came from Essex - my Great Grandfather x 4, who was transported to Australia for the heinous crime of stealing carpentry tools

Oh, the shame! :-0 :-D ;-)

None are related to us :-D :-D

They never caught your lot Joy ;-)

They are way to smart Malc ;-) ;-) ;-)

i have seen the names of some of my lot on the Old Bailey records..lol

I was born in Middlesbrough and have some Cooks in my tree but can't seem to link up with these rascals.

This seems to be them in 1881:
