Yorkshire (West Riding) / Re: Ernest Stanley Rookes
« on: Tuesday 21 January 25 18:41 GMT (UK) »
I managed to locate the birth record and got a digital copy.
Ernest Stanley Rooke born 13th December 1920
Mother listed as Ruth Rooke (Domestic) from Hemswell Lincolnshire.
Looking in 1921 Census I have located Ruth Rooke as a Servant without her child she is only 18 so was 17 when she had Ernest.
I have learnt from Ernest's Son that his father moved to Northern Ireland with a friend after the 2nd World War as he believed he was an Orphan and had no one to go home to. I suspect. as his mother was young, unmarried and in service she gave Ernest up and he ended up in care. Ernest believed he was from Barnsley in Yorkshire so it is possible he ended up in a carehome/orphanage there.

Thanks very much guys. Yes married Mary Grainger 8th July 1842 in St Matthews Church in Belfast. I got this from the Marriage Licience. But no mention of fathers. Would there be a separate marriage cert with this on it?
On the marriage licence his address was given as 183 Field Ambulance, H.Q. Marythan Hall, Rolvenden, Cranbrook, Kent.
As he is military is there any records pre marriage that may give next of kin?
Amazing work Dundee Debra on birth cert good lead. Why would mothers maiden name not be listed? How would I get a copy of this?

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Ernest Stanley Rookes
« on: Sunday 19 January 25 23:41 GMT (UK) »
My friends father: Ernest Rookes born 5th December 1919 in Barnsley England.
However family thinks he listed 13th December 1920 so possible he faked his date of birth to enter military early.
We do not know his parents names. And I can't seem to find him on 1921 census.
We know he went on to serve in the army. He was in the transport core for 2 years and went on to be a paratrooper for 4 years.
He was living in Northern Ireland after the 2nd World War.
He died 25th May 1995 and is buried in Carmoney Cemetary (East) in Newtownabbey.
It's a long shot... there are not many Rookes so I am hoping anyone with experience can help in this search or point in right direction.
Wanting to confirm date of birth and parents names. Any help is appreciated.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Margaret Martin Death record: Cause of Death Query?
« on: Friday 02 February 24 22:13 GMT (UK) »
Margaret Martin Died on 10th September 1901 at 84 Antrim Street (Lisburn, Antrim) Ireland.
I think secondary cause of death is Gall Stones 2 months certified but can anyone advise what the primary cause of death says?

Hey no sister called Eliza Jane. Also seen the records for the soldier and details don't match up. But thanks. Yes I'll have to go through all marriage records after 1911 to see if I can find him anywhere on island of Ireland getting married.
