Hello Jax,
Thanks for that info. I always thought he had died young until someone found a marriage for him in Canada. I wonder if he went to Canada with the navy.

Hello Meg,
Sarah's parents names were on the marriage. I have no idea how old Sarah was. It just said that sarah came from england. Same for Thomas. I have not found her on any census. The marriage said that Thomas was a Chemist. This is all the info i have. Sorry.
Patricia.

No children when he was only 31. Why not? How old was Sarah, you have her parents, so maybe you have her on a census.

Hello All,
I have just become aware that my relation Thomas Stephens Rooke born 1844 Probus Cornwall to Alexander Rooke and Frances Stephens was married in Toronto Canada on 23-9-1875 to Sarah Carter. Sarah's parents were Richard and Sarah Carter.
Would someone please help me to find out when he went to Canada and if possible when Sarah went there as well. It is unlikely that Thomas and Sarah had any children given their ages but I suppose it is possible .
Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.
Regards,
Patricia.
