James Joseph Brook married Ellen Fenn (born suffolk 1825) and in 1851 lived marylebone with ellen and 1 daughter , I have found him in the1871 census but cannot find any of them in 1861, by 1871 he had these children
Harriett 20 (who does not appear in the 51 census)(bn Marylebone)
Henry 11
An Rosa 13
Herbert7
Arthur 5 all these children were born St George hanove square..........
by 1881 ellen is a widow and living in battersea with william (29)not seen him before  and herbet (17)

Do you have James and Ellen's marriage cert? It is going to be difficult tracking down his parents without a clue as to who his dad was.
Also a marr cert often gives you the name of another family member (or two) in the form of the witnesses.

I've looked for the family in 1861 but like you I can't find them either.

According to the 1851 James is born in Marylebone c 1827(for anyone out there also searching 1861 for him)

Fraid i don't have wedding cert .....as yet

i know ellen is definitely in my family tree, and her mother's maiden name was Brook, (as was mine )

but i am guessing that he is also prob linked to the family tree somehow, but haven't found the link yet and was wondering if anyone else had him in their tree, i have lots of info on Ellen's family
