1861 & 1871 CENSUS LOOK UP - WORCESTERSHIRE - BROOKES

[Marjorie]

Having been helped to find my Brookes family, for which I am very grateful, I am now trying to trace John Brookes back further, and wonder if anyone who has access to 1861 AND 1871 CENSUS could help me.    There was no trace of John in the 1901 or 1881 census, but he was found in the 1891 census.

I am now after  information from the 1861 and 1871 census' for the following persons :  

JOHN BROOKES                        born in Kidderminster            b.  1820/21   (as 50 in 1891)
HELEN BROOKES  wife              un-known
SARAH BROOKES  daughter      born in Bewdley                    b.   29 August 1851
NELLIE BROOKES daughter      born in Bewdley                    b.   1867/68   (as 23 in 1891)

Very many thanks.

As Nellie could be a nick for Ellen, and other ages seem to match, I have my fingers crossed for you.

Hi Valerie

Very many thanks for looking up info. for me.   Could very well be my family - I will follow up.   (I have tried all variations of Brookes, but not thought of Brocks - but will in future).

Many thanks,

Marjorie

Hi Marjorie
I believe the Brockes was a misread by the transcriber.
When I looked at the original, it looked like BROOKES to me.
Sorry, I should have mentioned that before.
Regards
Valerie

Thank you Valerie for your last message - in that case I think this is definitely my family.    Many thanks once again.
