I found the marriage on ancestry as mentioned at Eccles Lancashire and Ambrose Brookes is listed as a stone mason and his father is noted as Thomas Brookes - cordwainer.

I did find a baptism about 1820 on ancestry for a Baptist baptism in Shropshire it wasnt clear any parents listed.

I am inquisitive myself!

Hi there

Thank you for the cemetery details, yes there are Allen families connected.  Are there any layout plans for the cemetery. Joseph Allen is son of Robert and Mary Allen a frame work knitter in Leicester.

Yes I know no baptism for Margaret Jane or Ambrose and there are so many more children that I didnt know about. What has mislead me abit is stating born Whitchurch (Margaret and Jane)so I concentrated there. I cannot find Mary Brook(e)s in 1851 in Whitchurch either widow of Thomas Brook(e)s. Thank you to all your efforts.

Hello all

My you are all up early today and researching!  Thanks again I have looked at the original entries and built a much bigger family group sheet now, with all the children. I am happy with the tree now. Thank you for your time and interest.

Good evening

Wow - now why couldnt I find them!  I am happy with the 1841 Whitchurch with Mary and children showing siblings.  I was looking just around Whitchurch. The unusual name "Ambrose" has helped to open up this family.  So they were quite aways from Whitchurch. I had to look Kinlet up on maps.

Oh yes I downloaded the death for Thomas Brookes in 1840 per your suggestions and it is indeed the one.  Death certificate Cleobury Mortimer reg district

5 October 1840 Kinlet Thomas Brookes 47 yrs a shoemaker died spasm - wife Mary present at the death.
 
So a big thanks

Shropshire / Brickwall with Margaret Brook(e)s from Whitchurch

Hi everyone

I have had alot of good help recently and thanks to all.  Looking for the Eureka moment with this family!

Just checking on my brickwalls!  I dont have much on this family I have Margaret Brook(e)s in 1851 Bury Lancashire and she married James Cooper  I have her death etc..the problem is her earlier life.
I know her father was Thomas from the marriage in Bury and I know she had a sister Jane Brook(e)s also in Bury 1851 she married Frederick Wilkinson St Mary Bury Lancashire 10th September 1851

I know her father was a cordwainer or shoemaker.  On census both always state born "Whitchurch Shropshire" but I cant seem to find anything for certain back there or a Thomas B. who was a shoemaker..

Margaret born abt 1839-1832
Jane born abt 1830 roughly

Anyone any clues?

Thanks in advance.

A.
