  • Hello Uncle George, I have finally found your photo and lots of information about you. You married my fathers sister Lillian Ryan. I am putting my whakapapa together, through our church (mormon) and it will be great to do your Temple work for you, that's if it has already been done by your fathers family I will need to look into that. I was telling my grandson Tiopera just last week about you uncle George, (his mum had taken the children to Wellington to see the world war one display by Peter Jackson ) and now Tiopera and I together have seen your photo and other information of your rugby league history, which I found by going on Google and writing in "George Gray Cook's grave in Etaples France" there is so much information to show Tiopera about his great-great uncle George who fought in the war and died for our country. Families can be together forever, and I am so proud to have you i
