BROOKS/NEWBY (Charles John & Mary Thomasine)

[AnneG7]

I believe my great grandfather, Charles John Brooks, remarried following the death of his first wife Rosanna.   His second wife was Mary Thomasine Newby, and I have them living at 4 Slater Street, Tipton Staffs, in 1911.   Mary came from York City, and I wonder if anyone has any information or connection with her or her family.   If so, I would be delighted to hear.

But they have moved up north by 1901
