I am researching the surname of Rhook. Have gone back as far as 1816 when Matthew Rhook was born in Smalley Derbyshire England.His parents Lawrence Rhook who married Mary Redgate. Matthew was a convict, coming out to Tasmania when he was only 13 years old.I cant seem to find anything about his parents, only they married in 1803 St Werburgh England, just wondering if anyone knows any more information they could pass on to me.
Thankyou Coral Ball nee Rhook
