Marriage 1885/C01425 Kilner William Charles Hirst - Cook Blanch Mildred

The William who died in 1891 was 89 years old.

Queensland Times, Ipswich Herald and General Advertiser (Qld.) - Sat 12 Sep 1891 p.4
LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS.
WE regret that we have to chronicle the death of another old resident of this town in the person of Mr. William Cook. His death took place, yesterday, at the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. W. C. H. Kilner, ...

The William who married Eliza Upton is the father of Blanche Mildred. That means the 1859 marriage is his second. His first wife Elizabeth Davies having died in 1857.

His mother is either Ann or Sarah depending on the death reg and the 1802 baptism.

I think that's a different William, Ellie.

William Greenley Cook
Birth Date: 17 Jul 1827
Birth Place: Ludlow, Shropshire, England
Spouse: Clara Elizabeth Quilley Snell

points to the marriage in Australia even though the reg has Cooke.

Or the tree is wrong.

Thanks Ellie.

If the 1802 baptism is correct then mother on death reg is an error. Ludlow would fit but I can't find a baptism with mother Sarah.

Death 11 Sep 1891/C02104 Cook William - John Cook - Sarah Cadwalitor ?
