Thanks for this, I have recently met a relative who lives on the other side of the world who was interested to hear about this Rooke and then I saw the reference to Gibraltar here! Presumably the stone quarry would resemble The Rock of Gibraltar but it would be interesting to hear how it was given the name and why.
