Brooke originated from a family with roots in the counties Fermanagh as well as Donegal and was the son of Basil Brooke.[2] His mother was Jane, daughter of Henry Wrey.[2] He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin until 1761[3] and when his father died seven years later, he inherited the latter's estates.[4] Brooke was unmarried and following his death was succeeded by his nephew Thomas Grove, who thereupon assumed his uncle's surname.[5]
Granted posthumously to Brooke and his descendants by Sir Chicester Fortescue, Ulster King of Arms, on 26 February 1808, on petition by Thomas Grove.[6]
