Roake in 1871???? All help appreciated
Wondering if anyone can find a family in 1871 for me, I had no luck over the last few days!
Surname - Roake Mother is Hannah b 1840 Children Alice Mary b 1862 George b 1864 Charles James b 1866 All born in Newbury Berkshire. As I can't find a marriage, this is the only way I can think of getting the father's name! |

They're transcribed as Reakes on ancestry, but the father isn't with them. I think the surname actually says Roakes on the image but it's quite hard to make out. Hannah is listed as a widow.

There is an Augustus A Roake death in Newbury in 1866, age 37., but I can't see a marriage for him. I don't suppose you want to buy a birth cert for one of the children?

I think I'm going to have to, but as this is a bit of a hunt for a friend I'm reluctant to spend the money. but there is another cert I need before this one! I'll post more of the problem tomorrow, see if you can come up with any more ideas. But in the meantime, Augustus looks hopeful. Thanks.

Augustus is looking more likely, in 1861 he is a Draper, guess what his son George was........ A draper!

Aha! He is on FreeBMD as Augustus Angell Koakne, married Jul-Sep 1861 Newbury and one of the possible brides is a Hannah Adey. Looking at the image, he is indexed in the K's instead of the R's, although I think it says Koake rather than Koakne.
