Default Nicholas Hook

I know very little about Nicholas


Marriage
1 December 1742 St Nicholas Great Yarmouth to Mary Bush

known children all baptised in Cley:
Elizabeth, Henry, John, Mary, William, Rose

Buried
11 October 1762 Cley, Norfolk

I can speculate that he was probably a fisherman or mariner: the easiest journey to Yarmouth is round the coast, and his son William would drown in Cley Channel, but I don't know.

Similarly, I can suggest that he was the son of Nicholas and Rose Hook, whose known children were baptised in Sheringham (a Rose Hook, widow, was buried in Cley in 1759) but I don't know.

No will or gravestone.

Hi Phoenix

Could your Nicholas Hook have had a descendent or relative called Robert Hook born about 1785 - who married Harriet Brazill in 1805 at Great Yarmouth ?

I don't know what happened to John, but Henry had only daughters and I think William drowned with his only son, I'm afraid, Marquette.

It's a challenging name because it appears to be pretty well spread across Norfolk.
