Family history information Brooks / Pettinger / Angell / Carr / Guy
« on: Thursday 25 April 19 22:23 BST (UK) »
Hiya

I have been researching my family tree (maiden name Guy). I already have a family tree going up from Guy, to Angell to Pettinger Brooks to Brooks. Some of the posts on here have helped me fill in some missing dates but I would love to know more.

My direct line up is:
Joanna Guy (me)
Jonathan Guy (my father)
Percy Dennis Guy (my grandfather)
Elsie Dorothy Angell (my great grandmother)
Alice Pettinger Brooks (my great great grandmother)
Benjamin Eugene Napoleon Beauharnais Brooks (my great great great grandfather)
Thomas and Hannah Brooks (my great great great great grandparents!)

I have found someone on here researching all these family names (including Carr, also descendants of the Angells) but cannot message them until I have posted in the forum. Their username is tarajobrien.

Hoping the forum will help connect me to people who know more about these families or who I may even be related to!

Thanks in advance
Joanna

Post again, and perhaps give a date for your great great great great grandparents?

Hi, thanks for the advice.

Thomas and Hannah Brooks married in 1848. Thomas was born in 1823 and Hannah I think in 1824.

Still can't seem to. Madness as I think that user and I obviously have something in common as we are researching the exact same family names!

Thought Benjamin Eugene Napoleon Beauharnais Brooks  was 1823 - or is that a different one?

Try now to email.

Yes you are correct, I wasn't in front of my note book and all the dates are blurring into one! Email has now worked, thank you!
Do you know much about Benjamin Brooks?

It was Benjamin and Eliza P Doe who married in 1848 (I think!)
