1777–1872

Second Generation: Elizabeth Warner < William Warner

My 4th great grandaunt (or 5th great aunt)

Elizabeth was the daughter of William Warner and Elizabeth White, and the sister of my fourth great grandfather, William Warner. She was born in Howden, Yorkshire on September 19, 1777 and married Thomas Rook, also in Howden, on August 2, 1801.1 2

They had the following children:

  1. Jane Rook
  2. Mary Rook*
  3. Thomas Rook*
  4. Henry Rook
  5. Martha Rook

After Thomas’s death (date unknown), Elizabeth married a man named Eccles. The censuses from 1841. 1851, 1861, and 1871 show her living in Snaith, Yorkshire, with her daughter Mary and son-in-law, John Mapplebeck.3 4 5 6 The 1841 and 1861 censuses identify her as Elizabeth Eccles (or Eckles), while those from 1851 and 1871 call her Elizabeth Rook.

It is very likely that Elizabeth’s second husband was Robert Eccles (born about 1776). A marriage record in 1826 shows an “Elizabeth Rooke” who was the same age as Elizabeth (48) marrying a Robert Eccles in Selby, Yorkshire.7 Selby is just ten miles from Howden.

Elizabeth died in Goole, Yorkshire late in 1872, at the age of 95.8


Note

* For my most distant cousins (the ones not descended from the William Warner who married Hannah Benson and emigrated to Canada in the 1820s), this website (for the time being) only expands the family lines that have been supported by DNA evidence. In the case of this family, only Mary Rook‘s and Thomas Rook‘s line meets that criterion.
