Good day to you and thank you for your response.
I have been most fortunate in that I have been able to trace my William Brooks .
he took the Queens shilling and enlisted with the 65th regiment of foot 25th Jan 1851 at the age of 22yrs Along with his brother John who was 20 years old at that time.
William arrived in Wellington aboard the freighter "True Britton".
I have copies of his enlistment etc; his baptism, his marriage and his death certificate. All of this would not have been achieved without the help of members of 'Roots Web'. I am most grateful.
Because I did not quite understand your first message- I was prompted to go to the site's home page and learn more about how best to use it.
THANK YOU again and I wish you well. Cheers.
