The Manor of Lackham IV : 19 th & 20 th century owners Fig. 9 Children of Rev Frederick John Rooke * 35
The Manor of Lackham IV : 19 th & 20 th century owners The eldest son of Capt. Rooke and Anne Wallace, and the painter of Fig. 8 above, was William Wallace Rooke who was born in 1816. He had a military career, in the 47 th (The Lancashire) Regiment of Foot. He entered as an ensign in 1834 92 , becoming a Lieutenant four years later 93 and a Captain in 1841 94 . Both the last two promotions were by purchase. It is interesting to note that his cousin, William Frederick Augustus Rooke (son of William Wallace’s uncle Charles Rooke), was in the same regiment; in 1846 he had been an ensign by purchase for two years 95 . They had even closer ties than being cousins and fellow officers - in 1842 William Wallace married Julia Humphreys neé Rooke, his uncle Charles’ eldest daughter (see below for chart of the relationship). It was not unusual for first cousins to marry at this time. They were married at St Cyriac’s in Lacock in July, 1842 96 Fig. 10 Relationship of William Wallace and Julia Rooke * 92 5/9/1834 The New Army List 1846 p98 93 10/10/1838 The New Army List ibid 94 13/7/1841 The New Army List ibid 95 23/8/1844 The New Army List ibid 96 Gentleman’s Magazine July 1842 p535 36
