George brooks (he married Emma Coupe in 1892 in Crompton claims father is Ben)
1891 - George Brooks aged 21 - Coal drawer - brn Middlesex
1901 - Henry G Brooks aged 31 - Coal Hewer - brn Chelmsford
can find no birth for him
Georges brother
Alfred J Brooks (married Charlotte Kershaw in 1895 claims father Ben)
1891 - Alfred J Brooks - aged 19 - Coal Miner - brn Brentwood
1901 - Alfred J Brooks aged 27 - Coal Miner - brn Brentwood
can find no birth for him either! Before 1891 there is no trace of these brothers BUT
1881
Living at Tower Hill, Brentwood
William Burls aged 32 - Domestic Groom - brn Brentwood
Annie Burls (wife) aged 31 - brn Ongar
Alfred J Taber aged 7 - Son - brn Brentwood
Henry G Taber aged 9 - Son -brn Chelmsford
which matches
Births
Henry George TABER - 1872 Chelmsford
Alfred James TABER - 1873 Billericay
In 1881 Henry P Taber is living with sarah although they didnt marry till much later and I can find no remmariage for Ann (Wright)although she did marry Henry P Taber in Chelmsford in 1872!
So what Im trying to do is - are these Brooks really Tabers? why are they saying ther father was Ben? Ann dissapears after 1881
so basically ARGHHHHHHH
