Can any kind person help me witha problem regarding a Thomas Brooks whose father was a John William Brooks, born Clavering Essex,yeast merchant, died late 1881.
In the 1881 census at 163 Bentham Road, South Hackney, London John William appears with his wife Sarah who he married as a Widdower in1853 and two children Alfred, 21 and Kate,15. Thomas was not at home. Thomas had a daughter Ethel born in1888 at Bentham Road. She is my Grandmother. I subsequentlly purchased Thomas's Marriage Certificate, 1882, and it revealed that his marriage to a Emma Benfield showed that he lived at Bentham Road and of full age. No sign in 1901. Kate was born in Shephards house Homerton and Alfred in Bohemia Place Hackney (fom Birth Certificates). thank you for your time, Findo
