I bet if our ancestors were alive today they might be amused as they probably knew all the answers to these questions!

just be a coincidence

Of course it could be, however its "feels" stronger than that - now the challenge is to find a link or two to help prove it :-)

I have found a Thomas Rook born in Morphett Vale, South Australia (1857) and died 1945, (son of a Thomas Rook born I don't know where) married to Emily Laura Teague (born 1863 died 1885) in Stanley Hill, South Australia. They married on 15/5/1881. She is the daughter of William Teague and Mary Emma Edwards (details of place of birth not recorded either). He then married an Ada Florence Teague (born 1864 in Burra, South Australia, parents' names not recorded) in Adelaide in June 1886.
Could these Teague/ Rook marriages just be a coincidence or, judging by the names not being common, could there be a link with the Rook and Teague families of the Forest of Dean? The Rook and Teague families were linked through marriage in the Forest of Dean.
I found this info. on Familysearch.org and I am keen to know if anyone can link them? Particuarly as descendants of a later generation of the Rook family live in South Australia now!
