General Notes
Which John Crook married Rachel? John was a carpenter, so a likely the son of Mordici, also a carpenter, but the other John named his children Mordai. Also, both Johns are Whitesmiths, so something's crossed!
John was 18 when he married Elizabeth at Leyland. For his first two marriages, he signed his name and his witness was William Crook.
John was 26 when he married Rachel. He may have been marrid before to Martha, in which case he was a Weaver like his father before he became a carpenter.
John was at Tonge (Middleton Parish) when their oldest son James was born. After Rachel died in 1791, John needed another wife to look after the children. "Jn'o Crook of Middleton Parish & Alice Entwistle of This Parish" were married at Deane on 16 Oct 1792.
There was already a John and Alice Cook family in Bpolton, and thay had Jane in 1787, so the Ann born in 1792 in L.B. was probably also theirs. Our John was from Tonge, Middleton.
