I have William HOOK's complete lineage after he arrived in America. My focus now is toward his English records. I am always doubtful with the public trees on Ancestry as very few provide any sources and many are just duplicates of other trees.

That said, I did investigate the immigration entry for 1773. I found him in the book Bonded Passengers to America which lists "William Hook of St. Margaret Westminster SW Oct 1773". As William was born in Gloucestershire, he should have been listed in the Oxford Circuit in Volume VI not the Middlesex Volume II. Of course, that's not to say he couldn't have made his way to London. I have purchased the books mentioned above with the hope there will be enough details included to make a definite connection. I should receive them in the next week or two.

Thank you for your interest in my search! I am grateful for any assistance this forum can provide.
