1861 census: Living in Staithes.
Two years after John was born, Mary married Christopher Marshall. I think it is very unlikely that Christopher was the father of John, because when he marries Mary, John does not go to live with them.
Mary was married to Christopher Marshall at St. Hilda's church, on 24 September 1823, their witnesses were Isaac Toase and Christopher's brother, Thomas.
Their eldest child, Thomas was baptised at St. Hilda's on 28th January 1824, a mere four months after their marriage.
Tragically, Thomas dies before he is one year old, but another son, again named Thomas is baptised on 18 April 1825. There are no entries of baptisms for the next twelve years, until a daughter, Mary Jane is baptised on the 8th May 1837, no more children can be found.
Mary, now a widow is alive in 1851. On the day of the census, she is living in Staithes, and has with her, her daughter Mary Jane, and her grandson John Richard Crooks. This is the eldest son of John Crooks.
Where her son Thomas is, is not certain. Is he alive? He would be about 25 years old so he may be married. He does not show up on the census for the Staithes area, but he could very well be at sea, if his occupation demanded it.
On the 1861 census Mary, now 65, is still living in Staithes and has staying with her, William, Mary and Ann Elizabeth Crooks, her grandchildren. When the census of 1871 was held Mary Marshall is dead.
When Mary married why did she not take the children? Indeed what happened to William? nothing has been found about him, except his baptism. Did he survive infancy? He does not show up on any censuses or any marriages in the area.
John was brought up by his grandfather, William Crooks, who had him educated and found him a trade, the sea. William, because he had lost nine children in infancy, treated John more like a son than a grandson.
This is borne out when John Crooks marries Mary Ann Thompson.1841 Census
