Wow thanks for a quick response.... you live on this board ;) jk
Just new to all this ancestry stuff
Here what I know...
Sorry if this is a bit dis-jointed.. as I am trying to follow it from some info that was passed onto me. These quotes are from a book called 'A Living from the forest' by E M Crowther, that were passed on to me via my cousins in the UK.
"Joseph Cook(e), they seem to have spelt it both ways on and off,was the son of a Wood Collier James(who also became an innkeeper), was a Wood Collier in 1851. He seems to be absent from the census in 1861, possibly woodburning in the forest. His wife Eliza describes herself as a 'Wood Colliers wife'. In 1871 his occupation is given as an innkeeper of the Wood Colliers Arms (still exists). Eliza was also a daughter of a Wood Collier as the marriage registration for Mar 1846 names her father as George Cooke, woodcollier.
One son of Joseph and Eliza, Joseph, was married to a Phoebe, daughter of Joesph Clarke, tanner. Another son, George James, married a Susannah, daughter of David Green, a wood cutter. Both followed their father into the business of wood burning.
Joseph b1823 in Bewdley, married Eliza in 1881 and was living at The Pump, Rock and was a charcoal burner. In 1891 he went back to being a Wood Collier.
Eliza, who married Joseph, was a Cooke through her maiden name. Her father was George Cooke, born around 1891 in Bewdley. George married a Hannah (not 100% sure on this).
In 1831 George Clarke is living on Bark Hill and his household contains 3 males and 3 females. THe females were possibly, Hannah, his wife, and the other two were his daughters Eliza (b1821 in Bewdley) and the other is Leah (b1826 in Bewdley).
1861, George changed his occupation to an Innkeeper and a Wood Collier. The pub was called the Wood Colliers Arms in Bewdley. His daughter Eliza and son in law Joseph Cook(e) took over the license in 1871. Susannah was still living with her parents, George and Hannah in 1861, in the pub. She was classed as 24 and unmarried. George and Hannah has another possible daugher called Sarah (b1834 in Bewdley).
Joseph and Eliza's (my grt, grt gfather & mother) children were...
Sarah b1847
Eliza b1850
Rachel b1852 - married a Christopher P Smith (b1852 d 1879)
Louisa Ann b1854 d1862
Joseph b1856 (married Phoebe Clarke) (my grt g.father & mother)
Fanny (b1859)
George James (b1861)
Leah (b1864)
Agnes Mary (b1869)
