Brooke/s Wright
« on: Thursday 17 August 17 15:52 BST (UK) »
Oh Crikey?

how many beans make 5

I am getting in a right old pickle with my Wrights of Northampton... and yet I am excited to be working them - due to the possible lead/ascendants I may seemingly be able to add.

I just cannot fathom this particular crew. 
Brooks/es Wright and Elisabeth SMITH
Brookes was born 1665 Brington son of Brookes and Elisabeth Creaton... There is ooodles of documentation regarding him.  on google in general as well as Genealogy sites.  So thats good.

But then when I try to work Brookes JUNIORs family... I keep getting no documentation - not a baptism or a marriage   --  I have to prove to myself that the children are correct by either a baptsim or marriage - or even death write up that mentions parentage... and I am not doing too well.   :( :(

Now the children I have are:

Elizabeth 1692
William 1694
Ann/Hannah 1696
Brooks 1700
Henry 1704
Alice 1706
Thomas 1708
and
Joseph 1717

One or two of them I found some info.. but am so stuck on
Ann/Hannah
Henry
and Joseph..

Now previously one site had the baptisms and the other site general info and then maybe someone on google has given loads of information...
But I am now floundering.

By the way Brooks jnr jnr also married an Elisabeth !!!! (Letts) and they had a son and called him Brookes sadly he only lived a short time.

any help to show me where to search even more would be great

Elizabeth and WIlliam are baptised in Brington

Henry, Alice and Thomas are baptised in East Haddon

Both PRs are on Anc*

And there's a Brooks Wright buried in Holdenby, who left a Will in 1726. The Will is only either accessible as hard copy at Northants Record Office, or on film at a LDS Family Centre

Thank you...
Much appreciated.

so they moved about a bit, that's about 30 miles apart by the looks of things -
need to investigate the reasons for travelling.

So Ann and Brooks
possibly between Brington and East Haddon...


the will in Holdenby --- I must try and see.   So 9 years after his youngest child.  If this is the correct Brookes Wright.

Thanks again
