Biography

William Ernest Cook, known as Bill[1], was born in Overseal, Derbyshire on 4 May 1924.[2][3][4]

He was the eldest son of Horace Cook and Lizzie Wilkins. The 1939 Regsiter records the Cook family in Lullington Road, Overseal (the new name for Moore Street). Horace is a Colliery Deputy Underground, Lizzie performs Unpaid Domestic Duties and William is a Bricklayers apprentice. There are also two closed records associated with the family.

Bill was in the right age group for military service in WW2, however I can find no record for him. It is possible that as a coal miner[5] he was in a protected occpation.

Bill lived in Overseal all of his life. He didn't marry or have any children and passed away in Hospital in Burton on Trent,[6][7] on 11 May 1984, a few days after his 60th birthday.[8][9] No burial details are known for any of the Cook family.
