Whilst I have census details for ancestor John Cook born 1799 Ipsley Worc, I wondered (now that I know his parents names - Thomas & Sarah) - whether the parents were shown on any of the census? John may have had at least one sibling - Elizabeth, who was 60 in the 1851 Census at same address as brother John. It would appear she was unmarried. I don't have any of the children of Thomas & Sarah except John and possibly Elizabeth.
Same family different side - (Johns wife Elizabeth) Elizabeth was a Harris, and was born abt 1800 in Overbury Worc (died 12 July 1872 same place). In the 1841 census when Elizabeth was 41, John 42, there is a Mary Harris aged 82, could this be Elizabeth's mother, and was she herself in any of the other census. Just to be a little more confusing, I am already showing a mother for Elizabeth, called Rhoda, which seems feasible, as there was a granddaughter named after her.
