Do you think that there is enough evidence now that it was your Peter and Elizabeth brooks who emigrated please?

I am not sure how you would find Elizabeth (nee Parkinson)'s death but at least you can narrow it to between 1900 and 1905 in New Jersey.

1901 - so perhaps Martha Alice and Kay were just returning from visiting Peter and his family on those incoming passenger lists?
