Sun & Anchor, Steeple - circa 1908
The boy standing on the post behind the cart is Frank Godfrey Cook (my wifes grandfather), born 08 Jun
1897. Christopher Whipps, the publican was his uncle. His mother was Amender
WHIPPS, Christophers oldest sister. She was born in 1872 married Charles
John COOK, and emigrated to Australia in 1911.
I have no idea who the other people in the picture are - if I had to guess
they would be Franks parents, Charles and Amender Cook, and his sisters Amy
(born 1899), and Ruby (born 1903). If this was the case, I would estimate
Ruby to be about 5, dating the picture about 1908. Frank had a brother
Charles, who was a year older as well as a brother Harold (born 1905) - I
would have expected them to be in the picture.
I then would assume the lady leaning on the doorway to be Christopher Whipps
wife Ellen Maria WHIPPS (nee HERRINGTON). However, the picture could also be
of Christopher Whipps family - he had 4 children that I know of Zellah (or
Zillah ) Dorothy WHIPPS, born 1889; Ada (or Adah) Amender WHIPPS born 1891;
Azel WHIPPS born 1893; and Blanch Edith WHIPPS born 1899. Again the children
dont seem to line up with those in the picture. - Mark
