Brooks
« on: Friday 17 June 05 23:58 BST (UK) »
I'm searching from Alfred and Elizabeth Brooks who christened their baby son William on 20 April 1863 at St Nicholas in Brighton Sussex.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.  Jeunee

They are also in Brighton at the 1861 census at the fabulous address of 52 1/2 [that is half] King street, Pavilion Ward.
Alfred, 24, Groom, Newick
Elizabeth 24, Chailey
and little Alfred, 4 months, b, Brighton.

Would you like their marriage looked for ? probably about 1859-1860. That would give Elizabeth's maiden name. 8)
Southern or Southan [Hereford , Monmouthshire & Glos], Jenkins, Meredith and Morgan [Monmouthshire and Glos.], Murrill, Damary, Damry, Ray, Lawrence [all Middx. & London], Nethway from Kenn or Yatton. Also Riley and Lyons in South Africa and Riley from St. Helena.
