QUERIES

* Alice in 1867 a child was registered to William and Ann Alice (on Geni as Jane Alice), therefore it would be likely that Alice Ann COOK born 1863 had died before 1867

* Ann - there are 2 children born 1825, one died in 1826 and in 1877. In 1844 an Ann was registered to William and Ann. It would seem unlikely that they had 2 children called Ann born in 1825, and unlikely that with a living child Ann they would have named another daughter Ann in 1844

* Mary - there is a child Mary Ann registered to William and Harriet in 1826 who died 1894 - it would seem to be unlikely that there would be children born 1839 and another 1867 also called Mary

* Sarah - there are two children called Sarah born in 1828 - one died 1848 and the other 1901

Can anyone add any supporting information for these children

The only place Alice Ann COOK appears is on http://familypedia.wikia.com/wiki/William_Cook_(1800-1874)

there are no sources

it includes Jane Alice COOK born 1867 - who we know was registered as Alice not as Jane Alice.

Removing Alice born 1863 until we can find proof of her.

Looking at Ann COOK

Ancestry.com TREES have the following children as the children of William COOK and Ann HUBBARD
* an Anne COOK died 1825 buried 24/3/1825 however this person died in England
* an Ann COOK born 1825 died 1913 this is sourced from 3 other ancestry trees for her sister Susan /Susannah COOK born 1831 died 1913

The only Ann COOK that I can find dying in 1877 is Ann COOK nee KEARNS died 22/7/1877 in West Kempsey
