Hello Graham,

I’m coming to this rather late, but is there anything further you’re looking for re Miles and Charlotte.

Charlotte Brookes was a sister of my great grandfather George Brookes, born in Offenham 1829.

I have quite a few dna matches with people who descend from Miles & Charlotte.

Cheers,
Chris

Thanks Kiltaglassan,

Yes, that’s the family.

Thanks for replying Garstonite.
I now live in Essex but was born in Liverpool and lived in Cranford Rd, just off South Mossley Hill Road, near Garston Park. I went to St Austin’s primary school and St Austin’s was our parish church.

Thanks for the offer re Sara(h)’s headstone. I do already have a photo of it on my Ancestry family tree, which I took on a visit back there.

Sara’s step mother Elizabeth (nee Wright) was my 2 x great grandmother. Elizabeth was first married at St Austin’s to John Wallace and they had a daughter, Rose soon after (my great grandmother).

I’m sure my Dad had no knowledge that his family were at St Austin’s, yet he’s buried there as well as Elizabeth his great grandmother and John Wright from Hale, Elizabeth’s father!

Rose married Henry Miller who was landlord of the Clock pub on the corner of Great Homer St. She sadly lost an eye opening a bottle of pop!

Good to have contact with a fellow Garstonite!

Thanks Garstonite,

Yes, I’m sure that’s the Larrinagas.

If you carry on down the bay (Mundakako Itsasadarra) from Mundaka you will reach Gautegiz Arteagako, which is where my great grandfather’s family was from, just above Kortezubi.

I met a Larrinaga who descends from the shipping family in Cornwall last year. Small world!

Cheers,
Chris

Btw, I’m also a “Garstonite”, from the west end of Garston park near Whitehedge Road….

Mary Ann Checketts (1867-1959), married to Harry Blundell, was my third cousin twice removed. Her grandmother, Anne Brookes was a sister of my 3 x great grandfather George Brookes.

Cheers,
Chris
