Sorry Mel, last posts crossed! Wonder if there was 2 Johns??? So the John/Jane marriage could apply if both survived - strange tho!

Thanks Mel - dont suppose you can find any of their children or census info? I havent had much joy!

Ness I have given you the marriage of John Brooks and Millicent Cope on a previous message with the one for John and Jane.

Girls I'm sorry I had to leave the other day and havent had chance to answer your questions! Hopefully you are still around to have a look at this.
Another member has John Brooks (ca1823) married to Hannah Beard as do I. It was the member that gave me the information that John Brooks (ca 1800) is the father of John Brooks (1823) and the mother is a Millicent Cope. In turn Millicents parents are John Cope & Margaret Roe.
I was trying to find some history on where John & Millicent married, lived etc in the hope of finding further siblings to John (1823).
It looks therefore, that I may have found the wrong John initially if he is with Jane.
Can anyone find my John??

What do you actually 'know' about your John?

What makes you think he married Millicent Cope?

How have you traced back to him?

Perhaps I can help?

Thanks for your efforts Dea - I'm still not sure as I was led to believe that my John was married to a Millicent Cope!
It could be the right John who remarried but I think I'm going to have to try and find some other info from somewhere to try and prove one way or another!
Really appreciate your help and will keep this for ref if I can get any further.

P.S. - No relationships given on 1841 and I am not sure if the Tomlinson's are part of the same household?

There is also this person at the end, who could also be in the same building?

Joseph Fernehough abt 1821 Staffordshire, England Leek, Staffordshire

Hope this helps.

I have found in 1861 & 1871 census a John Brooks ca 1787/88. As I dont have full census access I am unable to see who else is in the household to try and confirm if this is my ancestor.

Would really appreciate details of the full household in both census.
In 1861 the address is: Fountain St, Leek and John is Head
In 1871 the address is: 31 Fountain St, Leek

If somebody could look up this info for me it would really appreciated.
Thanks so much
Vanessa
