Marguerite Therese Cook (Issacs) 11th November 1929 - 25th May 1986

Marguerite Therese Cook (Issacs) was born 11th November 1929 at 14 Collegiate Crescent, Sheffield, Yorkshire. She was the daughter of Agnes Eleanor Wiggins/Walton and according to her birth certificate Colin Cook, however back in 1928 her Grandfather Thomas Gerard Walton needed his piano re-tuning, so he went into central Sheffield and found a piano store,  owned by two brother's who were of Russian-Jewish decent, they had come over to England from Russia in about 1918. One of the brothers, called Jacob Issacs was employed to re-tune the piano, whilest in the house, Thomas' daughter Agnes Eleanor Walton was on holiday from her convent boarding school, The Convent of the Sacred Heart, and she decided to seduce Jacob, which he fell for. On discovering his daughter's activities, he forbade her from having any contact with Jacob, mainly because she was underage and being a Roman Catholic family there was a lot of animosity towards Jewish people.

Agnes Eleanor Walton carried on seeing Jacob Issacs, whenever she could and by April 1929 found herself pregnant. During 1928/29 Thomas Gerard Walton had employed a young car mechanic by the name of Colin Cook, to be his chauffer along with a cook, by the name of Mrs Turner and a house maid.

Thomas Gerard Walton realised that Colin Cook had feelings towards his daughter and decided to offer the young man the chance of a lifetime. He asked him to marry his daughter and legitamise her unborn child. Seeing that he came from a working class family and he could one day inherit his future father's house, which was a large detached four bedroom house in the well to do part of Sheffield, he did not hesitate to agree.

Agnes Eleanor Walton was farmed off to Thomas Gerard Walton's wife's family in Worcester, for the rest of her confinement and married on 8th October 1929 at St George's Catholic Chapel.

They then returned to 14 Collegiate Crescent, Sheffield, Yorkshire, where on 11th November 1929 Agnes gave birth to her daughter Margurite Therese Cook.

On and off Agnes kept on seeing Jacob Issacs secretly, which annoyed her father.

In c.1932 Marguerite Therese Cook contracted meningitis, all the doctors could recomend was that she be taken to a warmer climate, so Thomas Gerard Walton booked a world cruise and took himself, Gertrude Mary Walton (nee Stokoe) and Marguerite off around the world. When they arrived in Egypt, Marguerite made a recovery and when she came round she said "Oh the beautiful garden has gone."

On the night of 14th April 1933, the Walton's got prepared for a journey to Liverpool. Early in the morning of 15th April Thomas Gerard Walton, Gertrude Mary Walton (nee Stokoe) and Colin Cook set off for Liverpool, leaving Agnes Eleanor Cook (nee Walton), Margurite Theresa Cook and Colette Gertrude Cook, Colin and Agnes' younger daughter, born 1932.

Believing that they would be staying in Liverpool, Colin Cook was surprised that late into the evening, Thomas Gerard Walton insisted on leaving and heading back to Sheffield. The car was coming down Manchester Road, Sheffield, Yorkshire, near midnight. In the back Thomas and Gertrude were sleeping, as the car rounded the bend, near the Rivelin Dams, the steering appeared to stick and as Colin tried to correct the steering he lost control of the car and it overturned twice, before he could up right it and move it to the side of the road, so that he could allow a bus to pass. Thomas and Gertrude were ejected though the roof of the car, Thomas was lying in the road in front of the car, whilest Gertrude was sent over a wall into a field. Colin was trapped in the car by the steering wheel and column. He managed to crawl through the shattered roof and checked in the car to see if Thomas and Gertrude were alright, upon discovering the the car was empty, he then found Thomas on the road and Gertrude the other side of a wall. He found a house up Ronksley Lane and was able to rose the household and called for an ambalance, which took them to the Sheffield Royal Hospital, were Thomas was declared dead, Gertrude was admited suffering from concussion and severe injuries to her back and Colin was treated for cuts to the forehead and to the right wrist.

When the funeral was held, Agnes Eleanor Cook (nee Walton) was the princiaple mourners, with her mother Gertrude Mary Walton (nee Stokoe) still holspitalised, Colin Cook and Maria Louisa Hynes (nee Wiggins) along with various others.

Some time later, Colin Cook came home to find Jacob Issacs in the house. He immediatley told him to leave the house, but Jacob refused. Colin shoved him towards the front door and once again told him to leave, again he refused. In a fit of temper, Colin threw the side lamp at him, that had been sitting on the hall table. The lamp struck Jacob in his right eye blinding him.

In a rage Agnes kicked Colin out, reminding him that this was and always would be her house and never his.

In 1934 Gertrude Mary Walton (nee Stokoe) died from her injuries sustained in the car accident.

On the eve of Marguerite Therese Cook starting at her mother's old school, The Convent of the Sacred Heart Boarding School, she was in the garden playing with the french doors open and the raiogram was on. The news came on with an important annoucement from the then Prime Minister Neville Chamberlin annoucing that "This country is now at war with Germany."

Whilest at school, Marguerite Therese Cook was finding herself always being compared to her mother by the nuns. Which annoyed her, because she was not as academic as her mother.

Agnes Eleanor Cook (nee Walton) and Jacob Issacs (Walton) moved to London, talk about out of the frying pan and into the fire.

During one of her holidays in 1944, whilest in London, Marguerite Therese Cook found herself out on the town in London and met some American GI's who were on leave. She started a romance with one of them and during the time they were going out he bought her and expensive silk headscarf.

By the end of the war Marguerite Therese Cook left school and headed down to London to live with her parents at the Bed & Breakfast hotel that they were running in Paddington, London.

She kicked him out and filed for divorce proceedings.

They divorced in 1960, by this time Marguerite Therese Bratter (nee Cook) had been working at Dolcis Shoes in Knightsbridge, London as a Sales Woman.

In 1963 one of her colleague's suggested that she should start dating again, which she dismissed, however her friend had a date that evening and her companion had a brother, who had recently come over from America and was also at a loose end. Marguerite Therese Bratter (nee Cook) went out with her friend and met up with her date, a young bank clerk called Francis Michael Judge and his brother Brian Peter Judge.
