Brocks in Australia

[gina1427]

Can anyone please help me find info on George Howard Arthur Brock born in England 1864. He married Ada Crawford and they had a daughter Ada Violet Kortright Brock.

I am completely stuck. I have been told that George and his wife died at a young age but I have no idea whether this is true or not.

I think this may be a possibility for Ada Violet.

I have a lot of information on Brocks from Norfolk, some of whom emigrated to Australia. Where did your lot come from?

My Brocks originated from Guernsey. They moved around quite a bit. Spending time in Devon, Somerset/Gloucester (mainly Bristol/Clifton/Bedminster), London and Wales.

I don't think we have any connection to Brocks in Norfolk. They were a family with connections to the military and medical fraternities. Do these places or occupations mean anything to you?

Other names connected with the family are Kortright, Aikin, Carter, Bevan/s and Pearce.

Hope this helps

I know about that lot. Not connected to mine, alas! 

I presume you are connected to Sir Isaac Brock who came from the Channel Isles?
