"completed" 1911 census ... Martha COOKE..Birmingham

Post by expat66 »

Could someone please see if there is a Martha COOKE or COOK still alive in 1911 in Birmingham.
I think she may have died the summer of 1911.... so should still be on 1911 census?

She was born around 1844 in Handsworth ( daughter of William and Francis BASSETT)... married to Thomas Henry COOKE, a file cutter.

Martha was widowed by 1901...think I found her then in Lodge Rd, Birmingham...boarding with James and Annie NICHOLL. Martha was there listed as a launderess.

In 1891 she lived on Garbett St, and before that in 1881 Devonshire St, Birmingham

Many thanks

Maybe she died before 1911?...& I just picked out the wrong death record.
Could she be in Wolverhampton?...as that is where her family were from before moving to Birmingham?
I know she wasn't living with daughter Harriet or son William in 1911... As I have 1911census for them. Don't know about her other daughters though?
Will dig out their details & add in a minute

The other 2 daughters I have for Martha are...
Sarah Ann Cooke, who married James Henry Hindley in 1886, they had several children & some of this family ended up in Canada. I don't know where Sarah is in 1911... I would expect her to have a son Gilbert .. He was born around 1905

The other daughter is Mary A Cooke...I don't know where she is after 1881, when she was in the family home on Devonshire St

Don't know whether Martha is with one of them?

Lodge Rd.(Where she was living in 1901) goes almost to
the border of Smethwick

That one looks promising.....If I am correct...she would still have 4 chldren alive by 1911, though I don't have the 2 that died ( have to see if I can find any record of 2 dying in infancy)
Thanks for your help :P
