The Rook Family Tree

 

CLEOPATRA 'WRIGHT' ROOK; was born 2nd Qtr 1864, East Ashford (Molash), but registered 3rd Qtr. She was registered at birth with the name Wright which is her mothers name. Cleopatra was christened 27.06.1864 at Molash, Kent; using Mothers surname only, no Father mentioned. Born prior to marriage, may be the child of Zaccheus; with the use of Cleopatra it is highly likely as there were other Rook girls with the same name. Cleopatra died 1st Qtr 1947, registered at Sittingbourne, aged 83.

Cleopatra married DANIEL LINKINS on 4th Qtr 1887 registered at East Ashford. She married using the name Wright so I assume she used this all of the time or at least for official records?

Daniel was born 4th Qtr 1863 at Wye. His parents were Robert Linkins and Jane Chambers. Daniel was christened on 7th February 1864 at Wye. He died in 4th Qtr 1932, registered at Faversham, aged 68.

 

Known Children of Cleopatra & Daniel are listed on the right.
