Cook(e)/Kissock Family Bible
Contributed by Joe
Travis
The Bible was originally owned by Henry Cooke but bequeathed to his
daughter, Minnie, who married Charles Sabra Kissock and the bible was handed
down from that family. So for generations, it has been referred to as the 'Kissock
Family Bible'. It will be noted that the bible contains entries with the surname
of 'Cooke' and 'Cook' for some of the same individuals. Clearly the spelling of
the name was in transition. All subsequent Civil records use 'Cook'. Also, it's
a Catholic bible which led to it being hidden from view by most of it's
Methodist owners - my grandmother kept it in a garage. Entries in [ ] added by
the submitter.
