Keep searching Julie - hate to tell you this but I have a Brooks connection too!! She was my godmother though not related. Very distant cousin Elisabeth!

if a kind soul has this census i'd be most grateful if you could look up the following for me! i'm looking for a James Wass who was born around 1842-1844 in Selston, Notts. also a Phoebe Brooks who i think was his wife, born around 1851 in Hucknall Tokard Notts. Hopefully this will give me their parents and i can continue my lead in this direction! Ta muchly Julie Tebb:)
