I am trying to piece together the Hook family.
John William Hooks was born 8 July 1879 in Berwick upon Tweed, Northumberland, England. [His name was recorded as James William Hooks] in the R.C. Baptism register but in 1881 census his name is John W. Hooks. He married Catharine/Kathrine Stewart Briggs in 1901, South Shields, Durham, England. At some point between 1901 and 1916 they emigrated to Canada. He joined the C.E.F.in 1916. At that time his address and that of his wife was Park Hotel, 4th Avenue, Calgary. His occupation was Miner. His religious denomination in 1916 was Church of England.
His mother, Mary, was my great grandmother's sister.
I believe that the family lived in the Calgary area and other relatives remember a Jack Hooks.
Any help would be appreciated.
