Perhaps I interpreted wrong when you said about in 1853 his conditional pardon was granted, I thought this was his ticket back to England!

Would be interesting to try and see what happened to him in Australia, perhaps my next move.

Thanks

Sorry for the late response I was reading everything a few times including all the links and updating all my trees.

Thank you for all the detailed information this is amazing! To think what I knew 2 days ago vs now is brilliant!

Thomas Field is a rather interesting character!


I assume he came back from Australia and was reunited with family?

Thanks for all your help again 😄

Brad

@Neale1961

These are some amazing finds and they definitely all add up and make sense thank you so much for finding, I think I can follow the family tree up now!!


I guess we may never know why they changed their names to Brooks? Perhaps at the time both parents were dead the sisters had to look after them and as they were a brooks they gave them that name?

What do you think to the below on perhaps a reason why 1886 is listed as death date by a lot of other family trees? I can’t find anything online about this? The dates make sense so I believe this is him

I thought this was rather coincidental however have no idea why she of been 3/4 hours away - I cant see any census proving this however on FindMyGrave she is in the same plot as 3 of her children i believe.

Hi All,

Unsure if anyone would still be interested in this, my great aunt read this thread and has been in contact with Barnardos Charity as they have a section of adoption papers ect, so hopefully some information comes out of that

I am now re picking this line of family back up to see if i can find anything else.

1. Other than an entry of FindMyGrave (224916668) - Memorial ID, i cannot see any records of Mary Elizabeth Harmer or any other variants of her name dying in 1964 in Chatham or surrounding areas. Would anyone be able to help with this?

2. Joseph Brooks Snr who died in 1922 i cannot seem to link him to any parent names or follow his family tree, Ancestry keep suggesting his father as someone with the surname Field and mother with the surname London.

Anymore help would be much appreciated as always thank you.

Brad

Hi,

Can anyone tell me what the parents nationality says? I first thought it said British for both however they don't look the same as the one that clearly says british.

Let me know your thoughts

Thanks

Interesting! I guess we can potentially disprove that 1810 burial then.

If all his children were taken to be baptised he would not of been a non conformist family presumably ?

His last child was born 1808 also I cannot find anything on his parents so perhaps that was the generation how emigrated?
