 I just read through the entire thread dollylee and realized I posted the same link and info you did previously. Sorry 'bout that, sometimes my brain is fried by the end of the day  ::)

I'm very pleased Tony has found his Brookes. Looks like Middlemore kept some relatively decent records and followed up with their boys.

Annie, the 'Year of the Homechild' will be interesting to follow. I often wish my grandpa was still around...

;D GeorginaSR  ... you can never have too much of a good thing...and that link was a good one. (and I thought very interesting).

I just can't help thinking how much that anonymous rootschatter has helped out and how surprised Tony will be to see the information here.

OOh well done JJ and George states that he was born in Wales as well, so that must be Thomas' marriage to Katharine.

Well, here's a shot in the dark, but now that I kick myself for not posting the adopted Thomas when I found it...as one never knows with these confused children...
This cef signup for a Thomas Gordon Stubbert...there seems to be no Thomas nor Gordon in Bras D'or...and am thinking someone actually born there would use the french pronunciation of Golden Arm?

Maybe Karen can use her super sleuthing skills to find the "sister " married to Gibbons to see which family he hailed from

No, that Thomas is spoken for here is his birth registration in Nova Scotia, delayed registration, but his sister states she was present when he was born.
