William HOOK - Ross

[EileenI]

Hi,
William Hook  born 1821 Ross, his mother name was Susan born 1801 Ross. I am looking for his fathers name.
grateful for any help with this.
Thanks Eileen

I've found him in 1851 listed in Ross. Note that Susan is listed as stepmother, not mother

William Hook  Head 30  Ag. Lab  Ross
Emma   "       Wife   27               Abergavenny
Eliza     "        Daur 4                  Ross         
Anne    "        Daur 3                    "
William "       Son    8 m                "
Susan  "       Stepmother W 50  Kings Capel
HO107 Piece 1976 Folio 150 page 13

In 1841 I've found another William Hook living in Ross aged  60. with him are James Hook 12 and Thomas Hook 9. I wonder if this is his father? I can't find the 1821 William though.

There is a William Hook and Susan Bailey on the same page in 4th quarter 1842 Ross Vol 26 page 316 marriages. This would be my educated guess for your William's father, for what it's worth

Anne's birth certificate is 1st quarter 1848 Ross Volume 26 page 217. I suppose that would give Emma's maiden name, then you could (hopefully) track their marriage certificate, and then William's father. That's getting expensive though.

PS There's also a William Hook death  2nd quarter 1842 Ross Vol 26 page 176

Thank you Isobel, for your time.
I had not realized Susan was his stepmother! I have found a death for a William Hook in 1848 June quarter Ross, which would tie in with the William and Susan Marriage.
William married Emma King in Bristol 1841, which would be why he was not on the Ross 1841 census. I think I will have to send for the Marriage cert of William and Emma.
Thanks again,
Eileen

I think this may be William in 1841

William Hook  20 MS Born in County - he is listed in a household with one other MS - Herefordshire Weston under Penyard - about 2 miles from Ross.
Address looks to be Kingston Court - closest farm is owned by Henry Nuryam?
HO107/421/23  7/8

No help in finding his family - sorry

Thank you Trish, for the look up, I have found another possible marriage for William to Emma Hargest in Ross 1845, which seems more likely as its nearer the birth of Eliza.

thanks for your help

 A William Hooke married Mary Whitehouse in Ross in October 1814.
Could this be Father Hook

[EileenI]

Hi EBN, I found James Walker, born 1828 Ross (listed with William on the 1841) on the IGI with father William and mother Mary, so its very likely the marriage you found    there was also 3 older daughters listed.
thanks for your time and help
