Hi Monty James & Martha were certainly busy people!!! I think they all belong to the one family despite the variation in spelling. Could find no marriage for John Brooks to 1920 in Victoria to anyone named Nellie or similar. Joan Digger - Pioneer Index.

Did he have any siblings? Also a marriage to a girl called Nellie would help to identify him. Believe this family were living in or near Brunswick around 1900. Most grateful for any information.
