Brain dead.! Of course it was 1805! The familt have a newspaper from then showing that he was one of the dead. However I cannot find anything more on his family. Lots of Thomas and Samuel Brook/e in the census but none of them fit and I cannot follow the family down Maggie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roy Stockdill" <roy.stockdill@btinternet.com> To: <ENG-YORKSHIRE@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, July 02, 2007 9:39 PM Subject: Re: [YORKSHIRE] Brooke and Yorshire family interests > From: "Maggie & Tony Luscombe" > >> I wondered if anyone is researching the BROOK/E family of Wakefield. >> Edward BROOKE and Ann ETHERINGTON had at least three children I found >> that Edward Freeman BROOKE was christened 9 Sep 1793 at All Saints, >> Wakefield, Yorkshire, England(Familysearch.com P018302 1780 - 1812 ) >> Father Edward, mother Ann Etherington >> >> He was killed at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1812> > > Er...the Battle of Trafalgar took place in 1805, not 1812. > > The National Archives Trafalgar database has the following..... > > Edward F Brooke aged 14 born in Wakefield, Yorkshire, England. > HMS Revenge /Rating: Midshipman > Personal details > Died 21 October 1805 in action. > Father Edward > > Notes: TNA catalogue reference ADM 44/B8 number 1971 records that > Edward F Brooke's father Edward Brook of Wakefield, Yorkshire made > an application in 1807 for his son's effects. > > Service details > Comments: From: Chatham vol Revenge > April 1805 to 1 September 1805: Volunteer > > Ship's pay book number: (SB 531) > September 1805 to 21 October 1805 > > Sources used > Catalogue reference: ADM 36/16545 > reference: ADM 44/B8 - number 1971 > reference: ADM 141/1 > > You can see the entry at: > http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/trafalgarancestors/details.asp?id=125 > 44 > -- > Roy Stockdill > Guild of One-Name Studies: www.one-name.org > Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: > www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html > > "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, > and that is not being talked about." > OSCAR WILDE > > > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > ENG-YORKSHIRE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the > quotes in the subject and the body of the message >

Never mind - Edward Freeman Brooke was a brave lad who died at only 14 for his country. I wish I'd had somebody who fought at Trafalgar. -- Roy Stockdill Guild of One-Name Studies: www.one-name.org Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
