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



Births Jun 1896 (>99%)
---------------------------------------------------------------
Brooks William Herbert Barnstaple 5b 433



They liked messing around with the names!

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..

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

1861 Entry for Sarah..

MANLEY, Sarah Ann Daughter F 2 1859
Winkleigh
Devon


So Ginny and Susan arent returning here any time soon then ?

Ok then fans yours maybe right but I did add???

jax

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.


Now you can all shoot me down in flames if I am wrong if you like but.,,,
