Albert Cook’s mother Elizabeth started her family in 1861 with Florence; a child was born roughly every two years thereafter, until the birth of her eighth and last child Ethel in 1878.
Of the eight children born to Elizabeth, six survived into adulthood.
Cecilia, or “Cissy” as she was known by her family, was child number five, born in 1871 with the given name of Cecilia Adelaide Maude Cook.
