Looking for date of death and any obit.

Not sure I have the right William in Trove. One lived in Ballarat and died in Ararat but the above shows William living in Ararat.

Anything specific to look for, Dave?

The year of his death he was living in Ararat. And died in Ararat.

The William in the notices in Trove published on 15 Oct was living in Ballarat.

In what cemetery is that memorial?

Three other deaths in 1908 for a William Cook.

 

[horse]

Apparrently he was visiting dau at Ararat when he died, he lived in Ballarat.

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

According to the 1908 roll he was living in Ararat.

1909 roll?

In what cemetery is that memorial?

Ballarat New Cemetery..

This is taken from Billion Graves at the Ballarat Cemetery..
"The remains of Mr William Cook, of Humffray street north, were interred in the Ballarat New Cemetery on Thursday. Deceased was on a visit to his daughter at Ararat, where he passed away"

This is a LINK to Billion Graves..

Apparrently he was visiting dau at Ararat when he died, he lived in Ballarat.

The statement in post #8 looks to imply he wasn't living in Ararat.. maybe that's wrong?

Thanks Geoff.

The date of death is the date of service is the date the notice appeared in the newspaper.

[DaveHam9]

If he was living in Ballarat then it's not him in Ararat roll.

I was going to say he is clearly in the Ararat roll in 1908 but the occupations don't agree.

The roll for 1908 for Ballarat for a William Cook, miner not blacksmith.

Ballaarat, Ballaarat East and Ballaarat West.

If it's the right one then address in Trove notice is in Ballaarat East.

Ok thanks Geoff.

The William in Ararat in 1908 must be a son.

A problem with the Vic. index as it only has the year. Won't even let you manipulate the date to find the actual date of the event as NSW allows.

Qld. have decided people spend less time on the server if they provide the actual date so now they do.

I've only traced one of the children.

Birth 2876/1866 COOK Elizabeth - William - Elizabeth Ann TYZZER b. Spring Hill, Vic.

Found a couple of trees, they have these listed as offspring..

"Frederick William COOK

Elizabeth COOK
1866–1896

Arthur James COOK
1867–1941

Frederick William COOK
1868–1870

Lydia Susan COOK
1870–1927"

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Geoff.

For some reason I had that 1908 Ararat roll but names now don't seem to fit.

It's not Elizabeth so the daughter in Ararat must be Lydia.
