Research Notes

There are two baptismal records at Battisford of a Rebecca, daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth Crooks (1816 and 1817). As Rebecca uses 1817 on census records, the 1816 may be of a deceased sibling, so the 1817 source has been used.^[4]

Children (according to censuses): Robert, Emma, Maurice, Deborah, Sarah, Jane, Dennis, Mary

Parents: Thomas Crooks and Elizabeth Fayers^[5]
