Hi Christine, Jane Poole was the great grandmother of my wife Joan MADDOCK (1931-2000). I don't have any information on her parents or siblings. Jane and Reuben BROOKS had, as far as I know, six children. The youngest, Albertina Elizabeth BROOKS, born Trent Sep 24 1863, married Samuel MADDOCK in Enfield, Middlesex Dec 26 1889. He was born in Longbridge Deverill, Wilts, Sep 11 1863. His father worked in Jupe's silk mill in Crockerton, Wilts. Samuel trained as a pupil teacher and was a schoolmaster when he married Albertina; she was in service. Any interest? Peter Gawn Sechelt, B.C., Canada. Does anyone have any connection with the Poole family of Trent? I am > researching Joseph Poole, an agricultural labourer born in Trent circa > 1786, and his daughter Jane, born circa 1818. I have census info on a > Joseph Poole of Trent and his children, but I don't know if this is the > same one. Jane was already married to Reuben Brooks by the time of the > 1841 census and not living with her parents. If it is the same Joseph, > then Jane would probably have been his eldest child. > Hope someone can help! > Thanks, Christine
