Thanks for your replies, I'd noticed the other Burston boy, John b.1873 but couldn't find a suitable birth registration so not sure if he'd be a brother or not, will probably have to get the cert to at least narrow down the mums name
Thanks again :-)

Thankyou for your help.

I'll keep searching and hopefully get a bit further with the Rookes/Scales

Regards

Thankyou for all this information. There's also the marriage of  William Rook and Jane "Olover" in 1770 Pickering, so wondering if Jane nee Robson died and he remarried or if this is a different William Rook/e.
It seems most other researchers on ancestry have them linked to the Rookes you mention of Esholt Hall but I think that's unlikely, I don't seem to be getting very far with the Rook/es of Pickering though
Thankyou again
Regards

Hi
I'm at a dead end with a Jane Rook/e/es who married John Scales 7.2.1796 Pickering.
Other trees have her as the daughter of William and Ann Rooke née Stansfield of Royds Hall but I've found the christening of a Jane Rooke on familysearch 1776, also of a Richard Rooke 1767,  William 1769 and Jane 1772  to parents William and Ann Rook, all in Pickering, but found nothing else about this Pickering William and Ann.
Anything other info or help would be much appreciated. The 1776 christening fits with her age on the 1841 census with husband John Scales (the Scales family all seem to be Stone Masons) the Rook/Rooke name crops up often through the descendants
Thanks for any assistance
Catherine :-)

Great info thankypu Amanda, are they your direct line too? Not found of my sons cousins on this side yet, I've read elsewhere that some of the ancestors on this side were Romany, do you have that info?
Thanks again
Catherine
