Cooke, Robert

Looking for any info on Robert born (1817-1820) Sussex, England.

He came to Australia around 1840 and married Jane Catherine WINDLEY (nee USHER) in 1861.

He died in 1883 in Dubbo NSW, but was fron Sydney and is buried in Rookwood cemetery.

I think he was married to Mary Ann IRELAND when he sailed to Australia.

If he was, his father was William COOKE (carpenter) & mother was Elizabeth.

Would love to hear from anyone with knowledge of Robert

Cheers Jay

HOLT, Reginald Ellis

I am looking for my missing grandfather Reginald Ellis HOLT.

He was born in North Fitzroy 4/7/1896. He is supposed to have married my grandmother Neina Emilie GARDNER in 1917 (although there is no record of that marriage so far). They separated approximately 1926.

He moved around a lot. He was in Ascot Vale in 1919, Carlton North in 1924, Flemington NSW in 1933. He was still alive in 1942, living in Preston, Victoria according to voting records. He lived with his aunt Rose for a while.

Parents: William Thomas HOLT & Elizabeth Janet Ada JONES married 22/2/1896 in Richmond, Victoria, Australia.

Sibling: Doris Ada HOLT born 1903 Warragul, Victoria. Doris married Clive LOUDEN in 1930.

If anyone knows any info about Reginald it would be great if you would let me know too!

Cheers Jay
