There are no births of an Edwin in that time frame or place,I think his father just couldnt make his mind up what he was called exactly !
And himself come to that.

The 1901 census for Jax,s lot in 1911 have Ernest as this.

Births Sep 1889
Brook William Frank Torrington 5b 478

But I am not finding a marriage for Sarah and John/Henry Brook/s in or around 1879 in the right place as Eliza was still alive in 1891 !.

But there is this.

Deaths Jun 1895
Brook Eliza 37 Torrington 5b 341

And this.

Marriages Dec 1896
Brook Henry John Barnstaple 5b 939
Manley Sarah Ann Barnstaple 5b 939

And they say Bertie was born in Barnstable Reg District.
But I cant find him under Bertie thats for sure,although there is one reged in Newton Abbott.

My seems like i have kicked up a rumpus sorry ladies, i am very interested just could,nt be on here all the time and did,nt realise that their would be such positive responsives so quickly, i am eternally gratefull and will sit down in a moment to digest all the info and pick out what is mine. will print out and match with what i already have, hve sent for grandads birth cert so will find out soon thanks muchly again
sue

I have justt ried to update my family tree and it looks like my gggrandfather was married twice and along the way between the 1891 census and the 1901 census we have lost two children Maud Brooks born 1880 and henry brooks born 1881, i am assuming that william frank (1891) has become Frank in the 1901 because of the same birth date.
we then have bertie and edwin in the 1901 census (edwin i am assuming is my grandfather who is edmund ernest ) but now it gets even more comlicated because in the 1911 census there is a sidney born 1903

So my question is can anyone trace the family in the 1911 census.
I have sent off for my gfathers certs of birth death and marriage so i confirm that is all infact the correct family
I really do appreciate all your help as i am doing this for my dads 80th birthday presant in October
Sue

The 1911 with them on including Sidney 1903 has already been posted by me on page one.

It is what I started with..

Any children not with them on 1911or 1901 will probably be married and have their own families.
Or be living in at work maybe..

Im going to have a guess that this is 'Bertie'
