Dear Listers, Have just now gone through my paper work and trying to tie in a few loose end. It is regardingThomas Brooks of whom I have been trying to find some information. I have a letter here sent to me 2012 and a death notice: BROOKS..on the 14th May 1892, at Adelaide, Thomas Brooks aged 83. An old Colonist. And found another letter of the Admission to the Destitute Asylum 27/2/1890 of Thomas Brooks aged 81 years suffering senile decay. The poor darling seemed to have been shuffled around various relations. First he lived with his son-in-law Henry Fox at Whyte, Yarcowie...this is why I have the feeling that he is "mine". Anyway apparently after living there for 20 years the arrangement to look after dear Thomas was no more available. So he had been put on a train to go to his son John at Kaniva, Victoria. This arrangement was not suitable as this son was in poor circumstances. I wonder if dear Henry just put the father on the train without forwarning his brother??! Letters had been sent to 3 grandsons Arthur, Frederick and Henry Fox for assistance. He died on the 14th May 1892 from senile decay, he is burried at West Terrace Cemetary. In time I might ask someone to look up the Fox Family...to make sure that there is a real connection. many thanks. Sieglinde.
