Have added to the 1910 census. eliza and Peter had been married 6 years. She had had 13 children of which 8 were still living.

so not blood related

Thank you for this - are you able to view a marriage to see connection Thanks

I think this is the Flanagan children with their parents in 1900. The parents emigrated 1880. I wonder if they were foster children to Peter and Elizabeth rather than Step children?

Peter Brooks 1850 through his mother Alice Strickland 1827-1898 who married William Brooks 1818-1867

If i have the correct death i found Eli in 1940 deceased - please correct me if i am wrong.

I think that looks good Alviegal.

Mark, while you have no proof that they were out of England, what proof do you have that they remained in England?

They don't seem to be appearing together as a family in England after the 1881 census.

Perhaps it would help us Mark if you could tell us how you got back to this family please? Are you a descendant of one of the children please?

So Peter remarried to Eliza - as there are step children listed

You have James, William and Margaret in the US 1900 census, as well as the parents.
You also have 1873 as a year of marriage.

No proof they were out of england and i do no recognise the children's names

Is this them??

Eliza is the mother of 13 children, 8 still living. They have been married for 6 years.

I wonder if Elizabeth died and Peter re-married? Or did Elizabeth have a sister who also married a Peter Brooks?

Just found a death for Eli - 1940

A public tree on Ancestry has the family but nothing for them after 1881. It also has a child Margaret b. 1873 and not Martha Alice?
