I have a record of a Robert Crooks and Jane (Jean) Turnbull marriage on March 22, 1832 in Lilliesleaf, Scotland. Her family is well documented, but I have no record of his ancestory. Their oldest son was named George, and from what I know of the Scottish traditional naming sequence, I am thinking Robert's father was a George. Their second child Nancy was named after the mother's mother - Nancy Milburne - according to the information I have. I also have reason to believe they spent some time in Ireland before coming to Canada in about 1842. Idea? Suggestions? Information? Lloyd Crooks Winnipeg, Canada
