Hi, Anne. Thank you for your kind offer.

I have been trying unsuccessfully for years to find the death of my GtGtGrandfather, Thomas Cook. He was born in 1810 at Woolwich / Plumstead and he and his wife Mary (Martin) married in 1831. (Edit sorry, Thomas doh!) Thomas was alive in 1871 but I have not pinned him down positively since that census. Mary died in 1889.

If you have any records that might show Thomas' death I shall be indebted to you. Thomas worked for years at the Arsenal and he was apparently noted as a firework maker. I understand he may have retired from there but what he did afterward I have no idea!

Anything you can find for Thomas will truly be a bonus.

Many thanks, Anne.

Kind regards,

Barry

If any one needs help with Woolwich area I have quite a bit of information, books, parish records etc. I also have Charlton St Lukes Burial book , and some of their parish records, also Bexley St Marys and St Johns. Books also include Records of Woolwich, by Thomas Vincent.
