The Rook Family Tree

 

SABINA CASE ROOK. Sabina Rook was born in 1823 at Boughton Under Blean; she was Christened on 27th July 1828 at Faversham. She died 1st Qtr 1898 at Canterbury. Sabina married late in life, and as I believe, had no children.

Sabina married THOMAS FREE during the 4th Qtr 1881 at Canterbury.

Thomas Free was born 1824 at Bradenham, Buckinghamshire. I am not sure on Thomas' parentage as he spends his early years with an Aunt & Uncle William & Elizabeth Biggs. He died in 1st Qtr 1895 at Canterbury.
