Jonathan Crook of G.B.
Burial Date: 24 Mar 1755
Burial Place: Bolton-le-Moors, St Peter, Lancashire, England
Reference Number: L243/1/1/3
Archive Roll: 854Some seem to think that Jonathan Crook is the same as Benjamin Crook son of John Crook and Esther Thornley who was baptised 24 Oct 1686 at St Peter, Bolton. This is unlikely as a Benjamin goes on and marries etc. Jonathan could have been an unrecorded sibling noting that the names John and Esther are in Jonathan and Alice's children's names.
An Administration document concerning Jonathan's estate is located in the Lancashire Archives - date given as 7 April 1755 where he is described as carpenter.
