Very concerned that having obtained two wills from National Archives which are their copyright, you
have attached the complete wills on this board for anyone to download. 

Think you should check if you are allowed to do this, it may be infringement of copyright rules.

Select "Help" tab at top of page, then "Guidelines for posting" in menu on the "Help" page. Paragraph about copyright is near the end of the "Guidelines for posting" page with a link to more information.
If still in doubt ask a moderator.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned in any of the threads about the George Rooke- Snr & Jnr, but Lady Catherine Rooke marries the Hon Dr Henry Moor on 26.12. 1710 at Hackington/St Stephen's Kent.

There is a newspaper report of 19.7.1729 announcing the death of Henry Moor-"eldest son of the Hon Dr Moor by Lady Rooke"....maybe George Jnr was brought up in this family?

Thanks djm297.

There is just no written text about the son George Rooke (1702-1739, that i can find.
His mother died at birth in 1702 and his father, Admiral George Rooke was away often.

However, the father remarried again to a Catherine Knatchbull in 1706, so i suppose that the young George lived with her, he then being only 4 years old, but there is nothing to confirm this.

Possible alternatives:
 ....
Boarding school, perhaps staying with stepmother or one of the guardians, or another person for holidays.

I see from a recent post on one of your other threads that George was admitted to Pembroke College at Cambridge University when he was 16 and that you may be able to obtain information about his previous education from college records.

  My suggestions as to where George junior lived.
    The family home of St Lawrence House, Canterbury, with a household of nursemaids, tutors and a female relative. The step-mother remarried, as we know, in a year or so.
    He had several aunts, the most likely one is Ursula, married to Sir Thomas Hardres and probably living at Upper Hardres, a few miles away.
    I doubt if you will ever know definitely, but I have had fun checking it, as this is local history for me, and touches on people and places I have recently researched.

Calpe 1704 - this is a prime example of why it's best to keep all the information on one person in a single thread, to avoid duplication of effort amongst people trying to help.
