Roland Cook
A Memory of Hinton St George.
I am tracing my family tree, and have been following the life of a young man called Roland Cook who lived in Hinton St George just before he emigrated to America in 1912. His occupation as stated on the ship's passenger list was motor engineer. Sadly in 1916 he was accidentally killed whilst living in New Jersey and I am still trying to find out more about what happened. Roland was brought back to England and is buried in his home town of Marshfield in Gloucestershire, he lies in the same grave as his father Ambrose and mother Emily, also next to him is his grandmother Charlotte. Hinton St George will be on my future list of visits, a tribute to Roland.
