<title>Thomas ROOK born 1786</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is as far back as I have traced my direct Rook[e] line for definite though I have found Rooks in the Forest of Dean right back as far as Tudor and Stuart times.<br />
 <br />
Does anyone have any information about the names of the Thomas Rook born in 1786&#039;s  parents and his siblings (if he had any) or where to look for them? He died on March 15th 1844.  I found someone born in October 1760 but I am not sure whether I have the right person.</p>
<p>His wife was called Elizabeth Mary Rook (nee Steade/Steed/Stead/Steele) born 20th Jan.1786. Her parents were Paul and Marie/Mary Steade, both born in 1757 (I am 99.999% certain of this!!!) and  that Paul&#039;s parents were highly likely to have been  William and Elizabeth born in 1730 and 1735 respectively.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
