Ann Cook, (Milliner/Nursery Gardener)

1812 - 1870  (57 years)

• Name	Ann Cook
  Suffix	(Milliner/Nursery Gardener)
  Born	22 Nov 1812	Hexham, Northumberland, England   [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
  Christened	22 Nov 1812	Stonecroft with Hexham Catholic Church, Hexham, Northumberland, England   [4, 5]
  	This baptism entry records Ann Cook, daughter of Matthew Cook and his wife Ann, (rather than Mary) in the Roman Catholic Church at Cockshaw, Hexham. This looks like a simple entry error by the priest. Mathew Cook is baptised in the same church in 1817, as are several other siblings, so the family would appear to have been Catholic. A full search has revealed no further Ann Cook's baptised in this year. Her age at death and stated on census's do confirm a date of Abt. 1812. So it looks like the correct record.
