I saw your e-mail of the 15th and here is what I found in the census pages on Ancestry.com It isn't clear of the relationship but Caroline Cook was the niece of Caroline Pease and would be a cousin of Fred Pease. Hope this helps your friend.. Barbara Himes Caroline Cook1900.jpg This is a report of the 1900 Census of Auburn NY. It was misread because it has very poor image and writing. It should be read as: Pease, Chas. Age 30 born NY House Painter Married 4 years, had 1 child that died. -- Caroline 27 born ENG Immig.1877 Wife (parents born in ENG) Waby,Rose A 20 born ENG Immig.1882 Boarder(parents born in ENG) Cook,Caroline 2 born NY Niece (parents born in ENG) Caroline (Cook)1910.jpg This is a report of the 1910 Census of Auburn NY. It reads: The same information except Rose is gone, Caroline's name of Cook is missing and it's listed as ----Caroline and Niece, and on the following page is a listing of Charles Pease, age 8. She may have assume the name or have been adopted. Caroline (Cook)1920.jpg This is a report of the 1920 Census of Auburn NY. It reads: The same information except Charles is now 18 and it lists Frederick, age 2. Caroline is not listed. She would be age 22 and probably married or living with another family.
