Hi, Jud.
1851 this is the only Mary Brooks born in Devon:
Head: BROOKS, Mary Neighbors 37059
Name Relationship Mar Age Sex Occupation Birthplace
Mary BROOKS Head W 55 F Fishmonger Kingskerswell-Dev
Joseph HODGE Son U 20 M Ag Lab Kingskerswell-Dev
John HODGE Son U 18 M Ag Lab Kingskerswell-Dev
George HODGE Son U 15 M Ag Lab Kingskerswell-Dev
William HODGE Son U 12 M --- Kingskerswell-Dev
Southernay House, Newton Abbot
Kingskerswell Newton Abbot, Devonshire
HO/107/1872 Folio: 57 Page: 22
I tried searching BROOKES, just in case and there are no Marys born in Devon.
I'm afraid it doesn't offer anything solid, unless you are able to verify any of the children, that is.
All the best,
Tonia
