I have found out about the existence of Ben Hale who was son of Elizabeth (nee Fox)(born 1852 year of death not known) and whose father was Moses Hale. Moses died when Ben was about 3 years old (March 1878). He was therefore half brother to Elizabeth's other children born to her after she married Joseph Rook (1857-1942)(marriage was in 1880). Ben possibly married Phoebe [Jones?] in 1899 but I can find little record of him. Can anyone shed light on him?
His half siblings were all with surname Rook(e):
Ann[ie] Elizabeth (Dec 1880),
Theresa(Feb 1883),(I might have a photograph of her "Cousin Teresa" but there are several other Cousins Teresa who it could be!!!)
Joseph (Feb 1885),
Isaiah (another mystery person about whom I have found little though he could also have been referred to as Isaac! Someone with a similar name married in Yorkshire a Miss Farrell and I would like to know if he's the same person.( A coal miner like this Isaiah and who died in 1935) He was in Coleford in 1919 at his brother Joseph's wedding as he was a witness to it),(Born March 1886)
Paul (he married and they had one son who is buried with them),(Oct 1888)
Charles,(Nov 1891?)
Sydney George (Nov 1891?)
and Thomas.(Nov 1891?)
The latter were either all born in the same year (triplets) or just baptised together, both Charles and Sydney George share a grave and both died in infancy. Thomas could have died in Devon. I am interested in whether these were a multiple birth because I am particularly interested in seeing the incidence of twins etc across each branch of my family (due to a high incidence but not in the Rook branch of it).
