This page is concerned with the Cook branch of our family, and lists the known 'direct' lineage starting with John & Haidee's paternal grandfather** and proceeding back in time and generations. Photographs of individuals are included when available.
At the bottom of the list you may find facts about 'special individuals' related to this family branch.

	Walter Thomas Cook. ~ (a dockworker)** b: 1908 West Ham, Essex. d: 1979 Plaistow, London.	(Click the pictures to view)
	married Ellen Hannah Lawrence at St. Andrew's Church, Plaistow in 1933.
~his father was:
	John James Cook. ~ (a labourer) b:1866 Mile End New Town, London. d:1942 South Molton, Devon?
	married Elizabeth Ann Wells in West Ham, Essex 1896.
~his father was:
	John Wake Cook. ~ (a butcher) b:1841 Bethnal Green, London. d: 1888 Mile End?
	married Martha Austins Jones in Spitalfields, London 1865.
~his father was:
	John Wake Cook. ~ (a butcher) b: 1816. d: 1877 Mile End.
	married Sarah Ann Poulson in Stepney, London 1839
~his father was probably:
	Joshua Cook (a 'land surveyor') b: 1790?
	married Maria Wake in Pulham, Norfolk 1811

At this point we are trying to confirm the connection between Joshua and the first John Wake, but given that Joshua was a 'land surveyor' it is possible that his children were born in an isolated part of the 'British Empire'.
