Hi,

I have found,
 Daniel Brook christened 2nd aug 1756 Little Baddow Essex. Parents John Brook and Nightingale. (not sure if this is 1st name or surname).
  Daniel Brooks married Elizabeth Roofe 9th feb 1778 East Harling Norfolk.

Hi Andrea,

Thankyou for the info, it sure sounds like the right people but it's not certain.  I had Daniel being born in East Harling but I see Little Baddow is not that far away so it is possible, I may have his birth and marriage place mixed up, and as for Elizabeth's surname, I've found so many variences in family surnames it could be Roofe instead of Rope.  It all depends on the accent and the listening of the writer and his/her intrepretation.  You have noted they married in 1778 and I have their first child being born in Sept 1778.

So I have come to the conclusion these maybe the people 'Im searching for.

Thankyou for another lead to follow.

  Cheers
Lynda

Glad to help.

I know what you mean about surnames, I have Rolfe in mine with many spellings, I couldn't find my g grandmothers birth reg (thought it would be easy as she was a twin), eventually found her under Ruff.

Have fun, Andrea.

I have the image of a Grave stone in East Harling burial ground. reading a
FRANCES BROOKS who died April 10th 1910 aged 88yrs,
widow of the late DANIEL BROOKS...

Hi Blue-Spirit,

That must be another line, no doubt it could be a connection, a branch of the tree or a first or second wife or a cousin/inlaw but my line was already established in Australia by 1855.

I have a Frances b1856 that's the only one I have, would need to find a maiden name, I have 7 Daniels in my tree so far and none married a Frances around that era.

But I do appreciate you bringing up her name maybe if I find a connection I could get the image off you.

Cheers
Lynda

 Hi,

  I think Frances was Frances Ling, married Daniel Brooks 08 JUL 1855  East Harling, Norfolk. Frances was born about 1822 and died 10 APR 1910   East Harling, Norfolk, England. Daniel b1811 in East Harling.

Hope that fits in somewhere.
Andrea.
