Looking for birth of Anthony Richard cook born Portsmouth Hants
About 1923...?
Death about 2004? Portsmouth Hants
Father was William cook
Don't know any details on marriages, was married twice I think.
his mothers name, birth, or death either.
He joined the navy would like any REF number to this as well if possible.
A lot to ask, but he was grandfather to my children,
Now researching family tree again, and stumbling on this one..
Thankyou all
Kim.

From the wording of your post, this man was either your father - or the father of the father of your children, and not married to the mother. Am I making an accurate deduction?

At least now things in my tree can be corrected.
You are all awsome.
