I am seeking descendants of (or/and information about) my maternal grandfather's family. Arthur COOK came from Minster Lovell, Oxfordshire to Sydney in the late 1800s. Then I discovered by chance last year that his brother Albert Edmund COOK came to Brisbane, marrying there in 1903 to Lydia YOUNG, and dying in 1925. I think they only had one son, same name as his father, who possibly did not marry himself. Albert (snr) was a french polisher & lived in the Sherwood area. I have now discovered, via one of the immigration websites, that Arthur & Albert's father (Edmund) & other siblings (Alice & James) probably came to Brisbane too (see below) - and possibly Arthur himself (on a separate voyage). The mother died in 1878 back in England, and we could never find what happened to the rest of the family after the 1881 census, till this. We have plenty of details of the family back in Oxfordshire, and - of course - of my own grandfather's life here in Sydney. This is what I have found: Family Name / Given Name / Age / Ship / Date / Location/ Page/ M'f no. COOK, Albert, 15, Duke of Westminster, 21 Aug 1883 IMM/118 218 M1699 COOK, Alice, 17, Duke of Westminster, 21 Aug 1883 IMM/118 218 M1699 COOK, Edward, 44, Duke of Westminster, 21 Aug 1883 IMM/118 218 M1699 COOK, James, 9, Duke of Westminster, 21 Aug 1883 IMM/118 218 M1699 Edmund has been misspelled as Edward (not surprising). His age is only out by a year or two. He was a baker in England. Albert, Alice & James's ages are correct. So it seems to be the correct family - too many coincidences! There is one other COOK on that voyage, but an unknown name to me - Charles COOK, age 21. Then there is Arthur - COOK Arthur 19 Silver Eagle 7 Jun 1882 IMM/116 785 M1698 This could be Arthur, if he came out separately (a year before the others, and on a different ship). He could have lived in Brisbane for a while, and then moved to Sydney. He married Minnie Elizabeth SATTLER in Sydney in 1909. I will be checking the above microfilms (& BDM indexes, and electoral rolls) the next opportunity I get, at State Library, Sydney, but if anyone has a link to any of these people, I would be VERY happy to hear from them!! Thank you Judy Dickinson Sydney
