Help with Crook Family Preston area

Postby Tony Wappel » Sat Jan 30, 2021 2:05 pm

Hello Everyone,

Joining from the US. Have been researching since 1977 when I was just 14 years old. The internet sure has made things easier!! But, I am still stumped with some of my English ancestors. My 3rd great grandfather, William Crook, was born in Brindle/Withnell, Lancashire in 1811 to Thomas & Elen Crook. My mystery is what is Elen's maiden name? The Crooks, I believe were mostly Catholic (but have found records elsewhere). I have checked the Catholic Record Society publications as well as other public record sites to find out that William is the son of Thomas and Elen. (I already knew this! :P ) So I've tried another route. Two of William Crook's siblings married in Preston. One was Mary Ann Crook (born abt 1815) married Roger Dilworth (b abt 1814) in Preston in 1838. Also, a sister, Bridget Crook (b. 1815) married John Woodcock (b 1811) in Preston in 1834. Would it be possible for someone to check these two marriage records to see if they list the mother's maiden name? Also, Mary Ann Dilworth did stay in Preston and died in 1885. Would her death record show her mother's maiden name? Finally, are there any genealogies that include Roger Dilworth, perhaps showing his wife's parents? Thank you so much for any and all leads.

Hi tony welcome to the forum
A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.

I have been researching the Dilworths on Ancestry as I am descended from them on my mother's side but have been unable to verify facts about Mary Ann. I have had a hint appear that I haven't added for the 1841 Census. It has a Mary Crook living in Bolton le Moors with parents named Peter and Margaret The age is about right but as it's Mary not Mary Ann I have not yet added it. I have looked and there are several siblings but not a Bridget.

Thanks for the Welcomes,

Frodo, There is an 1841 Census Record for a Roger Dilworth and Mary Ann living in Preston. Pretty sure that is Mary Ann Crook. I sent you a pm with a link in case you needed it.
