Hi Wazzle.
Yes all rather confussing i know but the info, from my old childhood friend is exactly has he gave it to me, Alfred is his father whom i knew ,, all he knows about his grandmother is she was always called Gran, Brooks! and she was a servant at Aldingbourn House, servant no 5.
It's looking more confussing by the minute as i haven't found a Florence Brooks to match ether
my friend now lives in Australia and thats all he knows re his Grandmother ??
I can find her under Willis OK so it might be a lost cause without more info??
I have looked in the census for Aldingbourne House but no luck, i have only found it under a Richard Hasler ,, so i wonder if there is another name at Alderbourne house for the squire later then Richard ?? as Florence was to young under Richard Hasler ??
regards Keith

Hi,
i think you need alfred's birth certificate to confirm his mother and possible father listed.

Hi suey
yes i noticed a marshall listed Hmmmm !! the thought did enter my mind as well, it would explain the marshall in his name, and there is a young marshall in one of the census??
I have also think as you she took the name Brooks at a later date for whatever reason. / but still unable to find her in Aldingbourne house listed as a servant ?? unless she wasn't there on the census day ? i can't find any other name as the owner's of Ald, house other then Richard Hasler unless one of his son's become the squire at a later date. @

Hi Sillgen
You are most probably right in what you say, my friend wanted to try and clear up the Brooks part as that's all he knew her as when he was a child and the servant bit at Aldingbourne House ?
it seem's that she has to be a Willis that much i am sure of anyway, i will try a marriage to a Brooks , as i have had no luck with a Florence Brooks that fits the info, i have.
he is positive she was always known as Gran, Brooks ? to the family .
thanks for your time ,, if i find a marriage i will post an update here.
