Just for sheer interest Rockstro / Rockstroh shows up in Germany on the IGI
and has only a few BI entries...Rackstraw has many variations... It will be interesting when the connection is found

WIlliam Smith ROCKSTRO OR RACKSTRAW - IGI
b. Jan 5 1823 North Cheam, Surrey, England
Well known composer / on 1881 as Composer Of Music (Musician 3/7)
died 1895 Fulham

and in 1881 perhaps a brother, as Richard S. ROCKSTRO  born  c.1827 Cheam, Surrey is a professor of music in Croydon
( full name is: Richard Sheperd Rockstro, .."A treatise on the construction, the history and the practice of the flute...")
Married 1848 Clerkenwell  as Rackstraw / Death 1906 Hendon

Also IGI a John Sambroke Rackstraw DE ROCKSTRO married Maria ULEYATE

EEEK< EEK< EEEK>>> Is this just coincidence?
in the 1881, the William I spoke of earlier...

Newton Abbot St Mary Church, Devon, England
RG11 P 2169 F 172 p.38
William S. ROCKSTRO age 57, b. London Middlesex 
also in household, a Mary ROCKSTRO Neice age 29 born London

On the BMD just now I found this...
Death  Dec. Q.  1909

The names Gaire & Rockstro together...How amazing is that?
