CommentsEliza COOK and William OATEN
published by Pat Hase - 7 years 2 months 11 days ago. | | Family Stories often contain a grain of truth so are worth following up as you have done.
Were you told why they were forbidden to marry or by whom?
Neither were under age - could it have been because they were first cousins? In 1854 were fathers' names usually given on the marriage certificate in Australia? I can see that none are included on an online transcription of that marriage - but have you seen the original?

Currys at Rooksbridge
published by - 7 years 2 months 11 days ago. | | Hi and ta very much for the link. However, they are not related to 'my' Currys. I am amazed at how many Currys there were in the area and there must be links if I go back far enough. But how far is the question.
Cheers anyway

Eliza Cook & William Oaten
published by - 7 years 2 months 11 days ago. | | | To Dave - You asked how do I know "they were forbidden to marry?" The answer is, as children several great grandchildren were told the 'family story'. The information I had was gained from my mother, who was Eliza's grand-daughter. This family 'story' all 'checks' out after much research into shipping lists and digitized South Australian Newspaper reports. We just have no idea of which 'Cook' family Eliza belonged to or where she was born. [High possibility that is was Somerset as William Oaten was from Pitminster in Somerset].

Kate GILL and Emily HACKER
published by Pat Hase - 7 years 2 months 12 days ago. | | Thank you Dave for clarifying the situation - it seems that we should have been looking for the death of a Kate POPLE. Just to set the record straight, as far as I can see, Kate POPLE was not buried in Milton Road Cemetery.
