I would like to post this list of Delbert Eloitious/Dratz O'Rourk's family for anyone who may also be searching for the same ancestors.
Please, read the following:
Mother and Father of Martin O'rourk were John O'rourk and Brigid Harney.
Martin O'rourk m. Sarah Caroline Miller 2/12/1853
Their children:Robert Rourk, Sarah Ann Rourk, James Jackson Rourk, Nancy E. Rourk, William Elmer Rourk, Ida O'Rourk and Alice O'Rourk (twin girls), and John Britton Rourke. (It is said to me that they really weren't sure of the correct spelling of the name at some point, maybe that's why all the different spellings?
Robert Rourk m. Isabella Britton Nov. 24, 1876.
Their children: Catherene Rourk, Alice B. Rourk, Ida Viola Rourk, Frank Delbert Rourk, Eva Rourk, Bessie Leota Rourk, Jessie Myrtle Rourk, Josie Minnie Rourk.
Frank Delbert Rourk m. Nellie Sullivan no record as yet of the date of the marriage.
Their children: Rourke Jenny Bell, Curtis Harry Rourke, Delbert Eloitious Rourke.
*Note on Delbert Eloitious Rourke***He did not like his middle name, and was not sure how to spell the last name because his grandmother raised him. Eventually He changed the spelling of the last name on his own, and he also changed his middle name to *Dratz*. People also use to call him by the name of Deb, and I use to have little notes he had signed with that name. They were destroyed in a flooded basement at the home where I grew up.
Delbert E. D. Rourke m. Lillian Mae Atkinson (these are my grandparents)
Their children: Delbert Rourke Jr. Died in infancy. buried Oak Grove Cem., Clair Albert Rourke, and Frank Lee Rourke.
Frank Lee Rourke m. Violet L. Hitt 8/16/1953
Their children: Art Rourke, Gene Rourke, Phil Rourke, Delbert Rourke, Phil Rourke, Stella Rourke, and LeAnn Rourke.
That's the list of names that I have thus far in the order in which they birthed.
Nellie Sullivan's parents were John L.I. Sullivan and Jennie Fowler no other info as yet, still searching. Please contact me at this email if you have this info.
Lillian Mae Atkinson was the daughter of Floyd Louis Atkinson, and Hattie Ann Hensey.
Hattie Ann Hensey's parents were Bud Hencey, and Emma Kirk. Here is the complete list of their children:
Orval Atkinson, Lillian Mae Atkinson, Earnest Harold Atkinson, Pearline Atkinson, Ruth Lucille Atkinson, Clifford Atkinson, and Martha Belle Atkinson. I am also searching for further info on Bud and Hattie, please email me with what you have.
I hope that someone may find this info helpful. I would be glad to share what I know with anyone who would like. Cannot guarantee that I would be of a lot of help, but would surely try.
Best Regards.
