Hi

You haven't included details of what year he died

Hi

1911 census in West Ham, North Leyton

Presume you mean he did not appear on the 1911 census??

Is this his death reg - if so - he was born a lot earlier than 1877

Charles G Brooks aged 43 - March qtr 1911 West Ham 4A 25

Thanks for your reply.  I'm very new using this site sorry.

Sorry, I don't know when he died.  I can't locate an appropriate record in the death registrations

His birth date comes via the birth registration, and backed up as either 1878 or 1877 in Census records following his birth.

He was alive in the 1911 Census - I thought it might be of use for where he was at the last point I can track him.

He and his wife had at least one more child in 1914, and possibly another in 1920 according to records.  Family stories don't include any references or knowledge of the child born in 1920.

Does any of this info help?

There are only two burials for Charles George Brooks in the area
1- 26/01/1911 at West Ham
2- 22/01/1916 at Manor Park

What was his wife's maiden name freebmd may have a record of another possible child as after  1911 you get the mothers maiden name printed.

Was your charles brooks married to mary Ann Hawkins? Children: Norman james robert 19/7/1903, percy george 27/3/1908, robert Arthur 16/11/1911, frank edward 25/7/1914? Lived 288 Francis road, leyton? If so he enlisted 1915 and was discharged 17/2/1919. Royal engineers. Ended up as a lance corporal. Says he was a steam train driver?

Hi Samantha

If he married Mary Ann Hawkins - the marriage was 10.10.1897 in Bethnal Green.  His father is shown as James  - deceased

The 1911 index shows him only as Charles - not Charles George

There is a 1912 death in West Ham for a Charles Brooks but he was 45

This is a VERY tenuous possibility

June 1950 - Charles G Brooks aged 72 (1877/8)  Surrey Northern    5G 322

December 1947 Mary A Brooks aged 70 Surrey North Western 5G    621

Hi Carole,
The deaths look possible.
The address in 1911 and the military records tie up.
A shame leyton, woodford and West Ham cover such large areas!
