Title: W H Brooks Update help needed pls
Post by: jb7 on Saturday 03 February 07 21:02 GMT (UK)

Hello again.

I have rec'd marriage cert for Wihelmina Olive Brooks parents  =

William Henry Brooks + Florence Elizabeth Olive
          23                                           24

his father is John Thomas Brooks.

They married m.17th July1909  Sleaford


on my last post i said i am having trouble in finding out where and how to  trace William Henry Brooks after Florence died in 1912. also his father John Thomas Brooks and mother.

I have found on 1871 census     John T Brooks b 1865 Dogdyke  Lincs (to Thomas & Elizabeth) 

In 1881 census     John Brooks   Farm servant Ferry Lane Tattershall

then cannot trace him in Lincolnshire.

In 1891 census in Doncaster [16 high st buildings.]
I found entry JT Brooks  LE Brooks (wife) GA Brooks (son 2) CF Brooks (son 1)
this may be a connection as Wilhelmina [my gran] was born in Doncaster in 1910. 

His son tho, William Henry Brooks
[Whilhelmina's dad, my gran]
is staying with grandparents Thomas & Elizabeth  in1891 & 1901 census            age 5 & 15 respectivley.

I  know my gran and her sister Laura were adopted by Olive relatives in Billinghay after Florence died in 1912.

Can you help me trace what happened to William Henry Brooks and rest of family. any  decendants I am in a bit of a pickle hope I have explained it enough for you to help ???

thank you
Jodi

I suggest that you send for the birth certificate of William Henry in order to find out if these are his family.

Good Luck!
