Frederick John COOK (t) 1879 - 1940

 

Frederick was my great-grandfather. I need to add in the births of his children to this narrative.

 

 

FAMILY TRADITION

 

Frederick’s eldest daughter, my grandmother Violet May Cook, told her niece, June, that Frederick came from Canterbury, and that his father kept a shop. Frederick was apparently the black sheep of the family, and ran away to sea, fetching up in Poole. At this stage he met Eliza “and the roaming had to stop”.
