Brooks, Leicester/Rugby
« on: Sunday 12 March 06 23:01 GMT (UK) »
Hi all

I am researching the Brooks family from Leicester/Rugby area. 

Richard Brooks born to Charles Prince Brooks and his wife Ann abt. 1818. 

The name Charles Prince Brooks seem to run throughout the family and Richard, who was a boatman on the canal network, married Martha Doyal.  When on their travels they settled in Cheshire (Middlewich).  There is also a connection with Talke in Staffs and Whaley Bridge on the Derbyshire/Cheshire border.

Hope this rings some bells!

Hi Jan

Many thanks for that.  I will investigate!  I take it you mean this is the family of Charles Prince Brooks - Richard's father.  This gives me something to get stuck into !

Thanks again
