John Luke

  Research Notes:

Guy Lawton notes:
Another link to Simon Young's site (<http://sjly.co.uk/confluence/display/FamilyTree/John+Rochfort+Luke+1804+-+1886>) shows that he holds "a lot of interesting artefacts" of John Rochfort Luke, so you can see why I am anxious to contact him. My wife possesses a silver salt spoon allegedly part of a wedding gift to JRL and Bridget Delia Rochfort which carries the crest of the type used by the various lines of the extinct Irish Belvedere earldom. However I cannot establish any link as I can only push my wife's Rochforts back to the early 18th century.
