Neither of those look to be sons. One known son is Ernest Hubert.

William Cook Head Mar 59 ? Statutary empg. 2 Men Ludlow Shropshire

Ages are same on the image...

In 1851 he is 48, so consistent.. Wife was Elizabeth then, age = 49y, so she must have died if not an error.

Several things don't look right.

This is probably the wrong death - hardly be a sculptor or statuary.

Death 24 Jun 1880/C02072 Cook William - - * born England aged about 45 years

The Capricornian (Rockhampton, Qld.) - Sat 3 Jul 1880 p.11
A CORRESPONDENT writes from Springsure: - "An inquiry was held on June 26, by Mr. A. C. Gillespie J.P., touching the death of William Cook, an employee of Mr. Kelman's, at Meteor Downs... The Rev. Mr. D. Meiklejohn officiated at his burial in the Meteor Downs cemetery the same day.

 

[DaveHam9]

William probably married 2x Elizabeth but first marriage and a death not yet found.

Maybe not.

Is it William junior?

Several things don't look right.

Yeah, one of those when you could easily lose the will to live :biggrin:

I think I found a dau from the first marriage, though Her father, William was a marble mason, do you want the details?

Geoff

 

[horse]

Oh!

Sculptor would be OK!

Geoff

 

[horse]

Arrival not found.

May not be too easy, there is a William Cook, Mariner traveling between Brisbane and Sydney on frequent occasions about the same time

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

I doubt William senior was the father of the one born 1877 in Qld.

Looks like only one marriage and it's junior who married Eliza Upton and age 59 in 1861 is a odd error.

Family arrived in Australia between May 1861 & 20 Aug 1866 ???

Need to find the right death for William (b. abt 1828 ) in Qld.
