Answer 1

Note sure if you have found this one before but, there is a George Rooke bap. 24 Jul 1748 to William Rooke and Ann at  St George the Martyr Southwark

He would be the right age and probable they may have another child and call it after the mother.

Could be worth looking for a will of William Rooke

Hope this helps
