The Brooks in the 1861 census, oddly Isabella's birthplace is unknown (might be worth checking the original census sheets):

You need to register and sign in to Family Search to use it now. It's free and they now have a lot of record images that otherwise would require a paid subscription to access on sites like Ancestry.

Ah, sorry, I assumed you were the John Owen building the tree on FamilySearch in parallel to the one on Geni:

https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/LBZB-T9V

So, yes, well worth signing up as they have a lot of resources for free and you can also check out the family tree on there to see if there is anything to add or correct.

Did Hannah marry for a third time? I'm getting a Hannah Sims dying in New York with the right parents and date of birth:
