I'll start by moving over this map showing Cook's Lewisham/Blackheath residence on Lansdowne Place (blue) in comparison with Druitt's at no. 9 Eliot Place (red), and for good measure John Henry Lonsdale at no. 5 Eliot Cottages (green).

I have started a separate thread on Edward Tyas Cook, so as not to blur the lines on the neighbouring thread Druitt and the Civil Service.
Those interested will in Cook find much interesting in a biographical way on that thread.
My interest in Edward Tyas Cook began when I was compiling lists of people who went to the same institutions as MJD back in the '70's.
Cook's name seemed to appear in a few, so when Chris Scott posted the Civil Service Exam List for January, 1881, this also listed Cook and Druitt.
Can some whizz-bang techno tell me if it is possible to transfer a couple of the more comprehensive biographical items from that other thread to this?
Or is that not encouraged under house rules?
Thanks to everyone who dug out useful information on Cook, who to me, is starting to look quite inter-esting. JOHN RUFFELS.
