CROOK Family Help Please
« on: Saturday 24 February 07 22:52 GMT (UK) »
Hello I'm trying to find my Great grandfather John Crook and family. John was born between 1868 & 1870 in ALdershot England his parents are believed to be Mary Ann WILLIAMS and William CROOK. (father may of been a Royal Guard)
John had one brother Daniel CROOK. and maybe one sister Caroline CROOK.
The family moved to Australia when John was a small boy. 
John married Ellen Pain or SPAIN (also know as PHILLIPS after the death of her father). in Lambton NSW 1891 they had 8 children all were born in and around Adamstown NSW. but one son was born in Korumburra VIC.  John worked as a Miner and Unionist. He died in New Lambton NSW.
I would be most thankful for any help on this family. ;)
Thank you for your time.
Cheers Venali

This is how you order certificates...
