Hi there and thank you to both of you

Yes Nannyj that is the guy I'm after thank you. 

Carole - yes his wife was Mary Ann Hawkins and the Surrey burials look like they could be possibilities.

I also wondered if his death might just be under Charles Brooks rather than his whole name though there are soooooo many recorded.  I went through them again last night (NZ time) and found this one which matches with the birth year but I don't know if Edmonton would be likely...

Brooks   Charles   62   Edmonton   3a   1200


I believe this is the death registration for his father - James

Do any of the names in my reply #9 ring any bells?

[Samantha]

Yes Carol that's the child - Dora - who I think is their daughter... though my Grandma never knew she existed

I had found the same details for marriage and Dora's death though I hadn't found out when Percy died.  So thank you!

[CaroleW]

There were 2 children to that marriage - both probably still living.  The daughter married in Devon in 1973 so you may want to use one of the online electoral register websites to see if you can trace her

I am sending you a pm with some possible contact info that cannot be posted here

[nannyj]

No Dora born in leyton around 1920. Will check nearby.

[CaroleW]

Samantha already has all details of Dora - see previous replies.  Birth, marriage and death details posted

[nannyj]

Hi. Yes, saw the replies ... I read them as not being fully sure that Dora was their child? Did I read that wrongly?

[CaroleW]

It's odds on that she was but possibly not as well known to other family members if she moved to Devon

I pm'd some contact details for Dora's daughter and Samantha is going to try and make contact to see if she has any info that is helpful
