Find Ancestors

I am trying to find a connection with this family Cloke & my own. I am related throgh my Grandmother Rhoda Sarah Cloak b 1873 Sale, Aust. d 1959 Sydney. Her grandfather was Richard ovey Cloak 1808 Hythe d 1886 Hobart, Tasmania. He received a "free" trip out in1828 & was eventually pardoned. Any help appreciated. Thank you. Graham Lovegrove, Australia.

Can’t see there is a connection as the family are in Sussex which is a long way from Cheshire

No suggestion of any connection with Cheshire as far as I can see

The only UK place named by the OP is HYTHE

Graham needs to let you know which of the many English Hythes he is referring to. Hythe in Kent is not too far from Rye in Sussex.

Wouldn't normally post Ancestry tree info, but this one is well-researched, and documented

NO Henry............................

Marriage Date: 12 Oct 1801
Marriage Place: Limpne, Kent, England

We would now know Limpne as Lympne. Again it is in the same area. All these places more or less surround Romney Marsh. Once notorious for smuggling.

FMP version of 1851.........gives a better layout than Ancestry, IMO

Graham is a distant cousin of mine, although he won't know me by my 'Names' name.

You do have the correct parents for him but don't see why they were shown as he had already given his Cloak/Cloke details.

William Noakes Cloak was the Son of Henry (Rye 1816) & Mary Baldick.
Henry looks as though he was the son of John Cloak/Cloke/Clock born @1781 and Ann @1786

It looks as though there are two groups. One who has always lived in the Folkestone/Hythe area and one that has always lived in Rye.

If they were once the same family it must have been before the mid 1700’s - a difficult period to research.
