I have been looking for my ancestor james cook for a while now but unable to find any info on him before 1841.James was born in scarbrough in 1821 and married elizabeth between 1841 and 1846 as his first child was born in 1846.In the 1841 census he is listed as a ships wright,he was later listed as a ships carpinter.James also had a cousin with the same name born in 1822 and his mother was mary,i am still unable to find any parents for my james 1821. Can anyone help!!

Hi Tiddy30,

One of their childrens birth certificates will give the mothers maiden, once you have this then look for the marriage, the certificate will give the fathers name and occupation.

Could this be him on the IGI James Cook ch 7th March 1821 at Scarborough.
Parents John Cook and Elizabeth. It is an extracted record so it will be more reliable than a submitted one Also I have just found this -John Cook M Elizabeth Gray at Scarborough on 7th Oct 1819 also an extracted record, could this be his parents??

Forgot to mention - he is down on IGI as James Cooke, try N Yorks record office at Malpas Road, Northallerton DL7 8TB tel 01609 777585. or you could send an email - archives@northyorks.gov.uk and ask if they have the parish records for Scarborough. I think you should also be able to get a copy from your nearest LDS Family History Centre however I do not know much about this. You would have to check their website. Good luck
