New Family Page: WILLIAM HEMMINGS COOK (1768-1846)

Please post comments and queries about William Hemmings COOK and his family here.

Thank you for updating WHC page.
Greatly appreciated.

I realise it's still work in progress since we still have confusions with his 3 or 4 wives.
But maybe one day we will have the answers.

Welcome aboard Marc!

My information seems to match yours down to William COOK who I have born Dec 25, 1840 in St Peters (from his Scrip) who appears to be your William born 1841.

Is Bernard LAPENSEE your father? Can you provide more info regarding Catherine’s parents and grandparents (who they married, etc).

His parents were John Cook and Elizabeth.....

Hello again,

Gary, would you know if any of the Cook family member were 'working' or knew Louis Riel?

Thanks,

Thanks Marc: The first two links are already provided in the Family Page for WH COOK. The third link regarding the letter to him from Alex KENNEDY in 1810 is of no particular interest with regards to COOK, unless I missed something in it.

Regarding KENNEDY, Check this link: ALEXANDER KENNEDY (1781-1832)
