Hi Ron,
Thanks a lot for your email. Sorry I’ve taken so long to reply, but I have been trying to track down information on our descendants. It would be great if you could pass what I have onto Anita Snowden as I feel it will fill in some of the missing links for her. I would be happy for you to pass on my email address too, so that if Anita would like to, she can contact me. It would be great to get to know her and for her to meet our family, especially my parents. Mum has started to write down the little snippets that she and Dad can remember about the Snowden and Cook families, in the hope of sharing them with Anita.
To clear up your query in your email, Anita’s mum is Ida Amy Lead and her dad is Colin George Snowden. Ethel Louisa Rosalind Snowden is Colin’s mother and Anita’s grandmother. She is also my grandmother. Ethel was not married prior to marrying George Arthur Cook. George was her one and only husband.
On your website, Colin Snowden has been recorded twice. Once as the son of William Thomas Earnest Snowden and Annie Eda Lena Klemm, which is incorrect. William and Annie are his grandparents. He has also been recorded as the son of Ethel Louisa Rosalind Snowden which is correct.
Ethel Louisa Rosalind Snowden had two children out of wedlock before marrying George Arthur Cook. Colin, Ethel’s first babe was born 11 Jan 1908. His father is unknown. Now for the missing link! Phyllis Thelma May Snowden is Ethel’s second child born 12 Sep 1911. Her father is also unknown. Ethel then married George Arthur Cook. George and Ethel had three children. Roy Arthur Cook born 9 Feb 1921. Allen George Cook born 16 Jul 1924. Joyce Cook, whom my Dad believes died at birth on 27 Feb 1926.
On your website Joyce Cook and Colin Snowden have been recorded as the two illegitimate children of Ethel and as having the same father which is incorrect. Colin and Phyllis are the illegitimate children and as far as we know did not have the same father.
The Cook family kept contact with Phyllis and Colin. Even I can remember going to visit Phyllis and Chris’ family.
Anyway, I hope the attachments will be helpful. I have also included some photos which I’m sure Anita especially will like to see. It would be great if you or Anita could fill me in on her siblings and their children and grandchildren.
Before I sign off, I have a little story to tell. Last Friday evening, my husband and I watched a DVD about an ancestor on my Mum’s side of the family who had come to Australia because of the Great Irish Potato Famine which had struck around 1845 to 1850. After we finished watching the DVD, I headed off to the computer to see if I could trace anymore of our ancestors on my Mum’s side of the family. This is the first time I have really been interested in finding out more about my ancestors!
Well, at about 1am in the morning, I felt I had exhausted all avenues on Mum’s family and was about to call it a night. Then I thought I’d just have a quick look for Dad’s ancestors before shutting down the computer. We have never had much knowledge about Dad’s side of the family, so I didn’t have high expectations of finding anything.
It was a wonderful surprise when I came upon your website and started to work my way through the ancestors. Tiredness disappeared and I was just buzzing with the excitement of seeing you have traced our ancestors all the way back to the late 16 and early 17 hundreds.
Then at about 5 o’clock in the morning, I discovered that there was no mention of George Arthur Cook’s descendants! That’s when I decided to send you a bit of information. At that stage, I had only looked at a couple of our immediate descendants and didn’t know my way around your website.
Since then, I have spent hours checking your website against what information Mum has given me and also what I could find on the Queensland Government Historical Births, Deaths and Marriages website.
Anyway, thanks for uploading our ancestry and for all the hours you have spent researching our roots. Although I know we have all come from Adam and Eve and are therefore all related to each other, it is still exciting to find out about our ancestors and heritage.
Since we are 3rd cousins and since Utah is such a long way from Australia, I guess that makes us ‘distant’ relatives! Thanks for sharing a little about your family too. I would love to hear more.
Kind regards Cous,
Barbara
