Is anybody reseaching this family?
Samuel Brook was baptised in Warbleton in 1771 the son of John Brook and Elizabeth ?.
Samuel married Elizabeth Chandler.
Known children; Mary, Thomas,Peter, John, Jesse and Sophia
This line of the Brook family confusingly married into my line of Cornwelll/Durrant's from Mayfield.
Samuels sister - Sarah Brook, married Robert Cornwell in 1789, their daughter Elizabeth married Thomas P Durrant, Thomas and Elizabeth had a son Thomas who married Sarah, Thomas and Sarah had a daughter Mary Hannah Durrant who married the above Jesse Brook. Then Thomas Durrant's widowed wife Sarah, married Jesse's older brother Thomas.
No wonder I have turned to the red wine.
Would love to hear from anyone who can add to the Brook, or should that be "maze"
-
i have Cornwells
-
;D Oh good, are they Mayfield Cornwell's? i am stuck on that lot as well.
Great ggggranddaddy was Robert Cornwell born about 1756
possibly the Robert baptised 13 Nov 1758 Mayfield, parents Robert Cornwall= Elizabeth[igi sub record].
here's hoping
-

will have to look at my notes tonight - am at work at the mo.
and get back to you with more detail.

sorry forgot to check Cornwells will def. do it tonight

Thanks Eyesee,
I did see this marriage and wondered.
The name Jesse pops up in the Brook family like a bad case of acne, but is it conclusive enough to confirm the link?
i will have a search for the Dalloway posting.
Thanks again
Thanks Toni too

Hi, I am directly descended from the Brook family of Warbleton. They do seem to be rather prolific and there seem to be many branches living there at the same time. I feel sure they must connect together somehow and have been working on it for quite a few months! I am not sure whether Samuel was related to my lot. Mine are William and Harriet. In 1841 Samuel was 40 and William was 35 so they could be brothers which would be interesting. Do you know who Samuels siblings were and his parents so perhaps we could piece this all together? I should love to hear more from you.

Hi there, I haven't got a Francis Cornwell I'm afraid. I have been trying to find a link to Samuel Brook/Elizabeth Chandler but haven't joined the dots on that one yet either!! Happy hunting - it is very frustrating isn't it? Helen

Hi, I've just come accross this site so don't know if anyone is still interested but I'm descended from Samuel Brook (born 1771 died 1848) who I have listed with a whole lot more Samuel Brooks. My list is as follows -
Samuel Brook born 1629 died 1702
Samuel Brook born 1671 died 1762
Samuel Brook born 1771 died 1848 (- obviously not son of above but ?nephew - was John who you mention, younger brother to Samuel who died in 1762?)
Samuel Brook born 1796 died 1890 - farmed at Mayfield, Sussex - ? Froghole Farm.
Samuel Brook born 1856 died 1936
Samuel Arthur Brook born 1883 died ?1965 - my Grandfather
Samuel Arthur Brook born 1919 died 2003 - my Father
I have probably got a lot more info but would have to rummage around in the attic for it - which I will do at some stage!

Sorry for the considerable delay, I am directly descended from Brooks in Warbleton and Hellingly area. I have not been able to trace anything prior to my GGGF Jasper Brook, born about 1806 in Warbleton. I would apreciate more info surrounding Brook in the area.
