Brooks Family Williton/Taunton/Chard
« on: Monday 03 November 08 15:57 GMT (UK) »
Anyone with family connected to the Brooks family -
Charles/Rosanna (nee Ousley) married 1871, with children
Percy, Frances, Ethelbert, Annette, Walter, Dennis, Ira, Gladwyn, all born in the 1880s in or around the above areas. I have got census records & birth/marriage for Dennis - my grandfather - and census records showing the family in these areas at the right times.
Would love to get further information on daughters Frances and Annette, and sons Percy, Ethelbert, Walter, Ira and Gladwyn - I have very little information on any of them, apart from census listings.
If anyone has connections in their family history I would be delighted to hear from you.
Anne MG
