Cook family in Cranberry Portage, Sherridon, and Gurney Gold.

Classification: Query
Surnames: Cook, Buchan, Brittain, Dunbar, Swelander
Looking for information on prospector/trapper Jacob Cook, (d. 1928 on Third Cranberry Lake), wife Lydia (Brittain) Cook, (d. 1961 The Pas). Also seeking information on daughters Harriet, Sally, Mary and son Joseph. This branch of my family lived mostly in Cranberry Portage area since around 1914, but came from Fort a la Corne, SK, and Cumberland House around the turn of the century. They also lived at Sturgeon Landing, Gurney Gold and in Cold Lake/Sherridon. Harriet Cook(d. 1986 The Pas) was married to Frank Dunbar(d. 1989 Dauphin) of Cranberry and later to Wesley Swelander. Descendants are daughter Mary Dunbar (my mother) and son Benny Dunbar. Sally Cook was married to Ben Buchan(d. 1936 The Pas), and died mysteriously around 1943 in Sherridon/Cold Lake. Sally lived at Gurney Gold during the 30's. No known descendants. Mary Cook passed away in Cranberry in 1930 at age 15. No other information on Joseph Cook except for 1906 census showing him as living in Cumberland House. Any information especially pictures would be greatly appreciated.
