Find Ancestors

Assuming he did actually die 1851 - 1858, you'd have to look at the ages of all the William Cooks who died anywhere in that timeframe - and even if you found any of approx the right age , you'd still have to buy the certs to know for sure if any of them was the right man.

For example, there's this one - and there may be others - I haven't checked all the William Cook deaths:

COOK, WILLIAM 32
GRO Reference: 1851 J Quarter in PONTYPOOL Volume 26 Page 115

Strange we can't find William's death anywhere though, as has been said, it's a common name :-(

It's pretty much impossible to find his death.

He certainly didn't die in Chipping Sodbury area, 1851-58.
Other than that, as we don't know his year of birth (roughly 1813-1819 per censuses) , he could have died anywhere.

William Cook is a very common name.

Now you have me scratching my head [ ha ha],if Grace[Gracious] remarried in 1858 registered as a widow her husband William Cook had to have died sometime after or during the pregnancy of the last child Elizabeth c1855. l cant find a record of William Cook Death. Sorry for being a pest look forward to your response.

Thank you, the research you have come upwith has been a great help in compiling my family tree.
my best regards to all of you/
