Attached is his Will available from the N.A. U.K.

I am trying to decipher the Will to check on family matters.

Where Sir George Rooke lived with his 2nd wife, Mary (nee Luttrell) 1681–July 1702?
They married Jan. 1701.

What happened to his only son George (his mother passing away at birth) and who looked after him, as his father passed away when he was only 6 1/2 years old?

Sir George Rooke married a Catherine (nee Knatchbull) ? – 1755, 3rd wife.
I believe they married Jan. 1706.

Looking for advise and help in trying to find information/facts about the son of Sir George Rooke (1650-1709).
Sir George Rooke (1650-1709), was Admiral of the Fleet.

What I am looking for is information of the son George Rooke (1702-1739).

The only thing i have found (very surprising for a son of an Admiral of the Fleet) is a small mention in 'Memoirs of Laetitia Pilkington, Vol.II, 1749'

Quote from page 129 -
'....for the very first news i heard next morning, as, that Mr Rooke, a little while after he rose, fell down in an Apoplectic Fit, and instantly expired.'

An apoplectic fit, also known as apoplexy, refers to a sudden neurological impairment often resulting from a brain haemorrhage or stroke.

Might there be a way of sourcing an actual document or text that specifies the cause of death?

I'm researching family of the Admiral Sir George Rooke and i hope someone here can help me.

Sir George Rooke (1650-1709), from his 2nd wife Mary (nee Luttrell - 1681-1702) had a son George.

George Rooke (1702-1739), i believe married a Frances Ward(e) in 1733, but i can't find any proof.

I'm trying to establish who this Frances Ward(e) was, when and where she was born, who her parents were.

Is she the same Frances Ward(e) as below?
I have been trying to match up the names and people without much luck.

As George Rooke passed away age 37, did his wife Frances Ward(e) remarry & to who?

From 'The History and Topographical Survey of the County of Kent: Vol. X11" by Edward Hasted (1801)' it gives this, but it doesn't tally up: -

'..... Sir George Rooke, vice-admiral of England, who succeeded to this seat, and resided here, as did his son George Rooke, esq., who died in 1739, without issue, and devised this estate, with the tithery of St. Laurence, to his widow, Frances, daughter of William Warde, esq., who was afterwards in 1673, created viscount Dudley and Warde; on her death in 1770, she devised the whole of it, with her estates at Stonar and eslewhere in this county, to her brother the Hon. John Warde, who in 1774 succeeded his father as Viscount Dudley and Warde.'

With the end of the trail of who i thought was a Violet Mary Hamblin (nee Turner), my grandmother,  ended up being a Violet Mabel Ellen Turner.

The search now begins for her ancestors with your help.

Her mother Beatrice Lilian Turner, born in Luton (1872~).
Father unknown.
