Hi Susan & welcome to Rootschat.

As you will see, there are lots of people willing to help, but the first thing to know is that if you are relying on "hints" on paid for websites then you will probably go wrong.  Start with what you know  Edward Rooke married Emily Honey, and look for the marriage.  As you have seen above, they both had middle names, which will then help you search for them in the census, birth records etc, although you will probably have to buy some certificates along they way to confirm some of your findings.

I think that should be Emily M Honey (Emily Maria)
