Hi all I am looking for anyone with connections to the above-mentioned surnames. In particular, a John Christopher Brockbank b. 1869 who married Christabel Volckman b. 1867 at Hackney. They were married at Westmoreland 1898, had two children by 1903, Stanley Teesdale Brockbank 1899 and May Christabel Brockbank 1903 - both children born at Wrexham, Denbighshire where John was a bank manager. John's parents were the Reverend John Brockbank and Mary Agnes Brockbank, nee James of the Startforth rectory. Christabel was the daughter of William Volckman and Elizabeth Volckman nee Yeomans, and she wasborn in Hackney in 1867. The Volckman family were confectioners and lived in Essex as well. I know this is a little out of the way, but anything is worth a go trying to find what happened to John, Christabel and family. They vanished off the face of the earth after 1903. Being a bank manager he would have travelled to any county. Any clues? Cheers Graham Alas, from that time the whole family seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. Can't find them anywhere, even on overseas listings.
