Rocke was educated at Eton and Jesus College, Cambridge.[3] His later life is not known, but in 1830 he was cited as a "bankrupt" in a notice in The Times.[4] He apparently emigrated in 1849 to Borneo, where his second cousin James Brooke was Rajah of Sarawak.[3] He died on 22 November 1865, aged 65, at Calcutta, British India.[5]
