BROOKS/OUSLEY - Chard, Williton areas
« on: Monday 10 August 09 11:34 BST (UK) »
My grandfather Denis Cuthbert Brooks was born in 1883 in St Decumans Parish, Williton, Somerset.   He was the son of Charles John Brooks and Rosanna Ousley, who were married in Westbourne, Sussex on 31 August 1871.   Denis, I believe, had several brothers and sisters - Frances Emmeline b c1875-80), Percy William (April 1874), Ethelbert (c1875-1880), Annette Dorcas (1875), Walter (1879), Olive (1881 died as a baby), Isaac (possibly Ira Jesse)(1884) and Gladwyn Imbert Brooks (1884).    We were unaware of the existence of any of these brothers & sisters until discovering them on census sheets, and wonder if anyone has any connection with any of them.
I do believe that Gladwyn was killed during WW1, and Annette became a teacher near Taunton.   Other than that, I have very little information.   If there are any decendents out there I would be delighted to hear from you.
