6th generation BROOKING (james & Jemima)

[Necromancer]

The IGI isnt much help - someones been delving into this couple and made some stabs at a marriage date - but all refns are to a Jane ....

[Necromancer]

Looks like they had gone by 1861 - do you have an immigration date into the USA ?

louisa brooking b. 1842 married edward maryon b.1838
mary ann brooking b. 1844
william brooking b. 1848
margaret m brooking b.1849

Those names all match the James & Jane couple in the 1851 census - again in TorMoham ...

my great aunt built the tree, i am trying to expand it further back into england, holland and scotland .

so there might ne misinformation, as it stands?

Order Margarets Birth Cert (specified earlier) to check Mothers details ...... twill be interesting if its a Jane 'somebody else' !

£7.00 with a credit card ...

Also if you get that Marriage Cert, it will detail their Fathers names - who may well still be around for the 1841 census ...

As Tati said - they are a little older than you thought - if they were correct themselves of course !

There is a death for a Jemima in Plymouth, 1845 - and a marriage of a James to a Jane, also Plymouth - but in the 4th Q of 1851, so prob not relevant - but you should get those certs - remember that the Census is just a one day snapshot in a 10 year period !

thank you all. very helpful info.  if anyone has info going backwards from james & jemima (jane). i can exchange info from maragret and forward.

[Tati]

If I were you, I'd really try to find out what the M in Margaret stood for, just to check if the Jemima connection is correct at all.

As Newf asked - do you know when they emigrated? Did they leave Louisa behind (if she is the one who married Edward Maryon, she was still in England in 1864)?

actually most of it makes sense. i show an early death for jemima, and arrival appears to be around 1860's, i am researching that now.
