England / Edwin Brooks born 1890
« on: Wednesday 02 February 11 06:48 GMT (UK) »
Hi
Please can anyone assist me with any information on Edwin Brooks born 1890 in England.
(Full Name: Edwin Bernard Brooks - later known as Edwin Bernard Brooks-Benning - suspected that his mother divorsed Brooks father (or became a widow) and she remarried Benning hence the Brooks-Benning surname later on)
Possible birth town Surrey - not confirmed.
He later immigrated to South Africa - not sure when. In November 1936 he was 46 years old when my mother was born in South Africa.
I had previous queries about him on Roots chat last year (had the wrong birth year on those queries due to lack of info) but I now have my mother's birth certificate which might help finding more history information about my grandfather in England. See attached.
If anyone can help find more information (His parents, siblings etc.) Whether he finished highschool in england, or studied, and when he immigrated to South Africa.
(According to my mother he was an Accountant if that might help)
Hope to hear from you soon.
thanks so much
Leoni
