New Year's Greetings, I'm beginning research on a new branch of my family. Would anyone know anything about a BROOKS family of Skelton near Guisbro, please? Names are: William Allan BROOKS, born 1876, possible marriage 1899 to either HODGSON or READMAN Alexander BROOKS, born 1879, possibly married 1904 Flora Stewart BROOKS. born 1881, possibly married 1907 to SAYER Robert Brown BROOKS, born 1885 Albert Ernest BROOKS, born 1889, possibly married 1908 to ALDERSON or APPLEBY James Stewart BROOKS, born 1892, possibly married 1920 to JONES FreeBDM also shows birth entries that could very well be children of these marriages, as certain names are repeated. In due course I'll get around to purchasing the relevant registrations, but if anyone can help me on the way I would appreciate it. Many thanks Ailsa Petrie -- Hamilton New Zealand
