Hi Annie,
              The child was brought up by Ann's brother John.Ann had
the child in 1876 at Butt lane. Unfortunately between census's therefore
I can't find who she was living with. As the child was illegitimate she may
well have been sent there until the birth.
Gnat cannot find any trace of her since the birth so she may have died.
Because they were boat people she may have stayed with relatives "on
land" until the birth.

Hi everyone

Thanks for your input on this subject !! Smiley

I now have information on Richard Brooks' parents and grandparents and their respective families

Richards parents were Charles Prince Brooks and Ann _
Richards brothers and sisters were -
Mary b. 1817, John b. 1822, James Collins Brooks, b.1824, Thomas b. 1827, Sarah Jane b. 1832.

Richard's grandparents (Charles' mum and dad !) were Thomas Brooks and Ann Prince - which solves the mystery of why certain children had the middle name of Prince.  They married on 24 August 1773 in St Andrews Church, Rugby.  (How's that for detail !)

Thomas and Ann had the following children:
MARY BROOKS, b. 1774, Rugby.
WILLIAM BROOKS, b. 1776, Rugby.
ANN BROOKS, b. 1778, Rugby.
THOMAS BROOKS, b. 1781, Rugby.
CHARLES PRINCE BROOKS, b. 1793, Rugby.

So there we are !  I have obtained all this information through the excellent Hugh Wallis website for IGI batch numbers

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers/CountryEngland.htm#PageTitle

Knowing they came from the Rugby area I checked the churches for Brooks (and there are quite a few) and up they all popped!

Regarding Albert Leonard - there was no father on the birth certificate and I can't find any trace of Ann after his birth - may have married, may have died.

Thanks for your help and interest on this thread.

Hi Gnat,
              Will keep an eye out for Ann, you never know what might turn up.
Thanks for trying Annie. ( Does your bike need a paint job?)
