Thomas Brooks, OFA, B, Miner, Brierley Hill, John Brooks (Dec), Miner
Eliza Lewis, OFA, S, Brierley Hill, William Lewis, Labourer
Wit: John Lewis, Maria Brooks

I know Thomas is born about 1815-16 from

1861. Thorns. Quarry Bank. census
Thomas Brookes 46. Clay Miner.
Eliza Brookes 42. Wednesbury.
Sarah Brookes 18.
William Brookes 15. Clay miner.
Henrietta Brookes 14.
Anne Brookes 10.
Elizabeth Brookes 8.
John T Brookes 9 Mo. Others born Kingswinford.

So looking for more siblings from here. I did find this and wondering how to go about finding if they match or not

Elizbth Brookes

Do we have an 1841 census for John Brookes and Sarah with maybe John the child still living with them.

I am so amazed how many Phoebes in the BCC collection. Was it that popular of a name or are all these families related somehow

John Brooks

you need to check if the bap are easy or ocm as easy is a submitted entry and ocm are parish records

All easy and why I am looking for more correct answers with OCM.

The Census and marriage record that I put up for Thomas Brookes are OCM.

The Maria was a key ingredient for me but still looking for a census at least. Since married in 1841 and she is still Maria Brookes, there should be something if someone looks it up.

Odm I think means taken from parish registers by transcriber at Lds site
easy is a submitted from could be anywhere!

so always easy ones need verifying

Can someone find Thomas Brookes on 1841 and 1851 pls

I cant see that 1816 one on an odm ref
only submitted so needs to be verified

anyone got the st Michaels brierly hills
