Help with 1901 Look up please - Extra Pair of eyes needed
« on: Thursday 21 September 06 21:48 BST (UK) »
Hi There

I am searching for Martha Brooks in 1901 - she was an unmarried mother of four  :o  who died in 1913 Bolton area.  She was born about 1859 in Darcy Lever Lancashire (daughter of Samuel Brooks and Honor Harrison - rumour has it that she spent a great deal of her life in the workhouses before returning to her sisters house in Bolton because she knew she was dying.

 Her eldest daughter Honor (also known as Mary Norah b 1884 Darcy Lever is also missing but it is thought she may have been adopted??????  Two other sons are with George Isherwood (Mary and her two sons were with a Robert Isherwood in 1891 thought to be father of the eldest two boys)Her youngest son is with her sister Jane & William Gornall  in 1901 listed as a 'friend'

An extra pair of eyes would be gratefully appreciated on this one

Cheers

Hi Myfi

No  :(

Thanks for looking but her siblings were Thomas 1845 Haugh, Benjamin 1847 HAUGH, Ann 1850 Darcy Lever, Charles 1852 Darcy Lever, Jane Darcy Lever 1857, and Samuel 1862 Darcy Lever.

Unless Sarah was Sarah ANN but cant find a JOHN H connection

Cheers
Jan
