There is a possible BROOKES family in 1901 in Leicester, where the father is called John, and is an elastic weaver, and there's an 8-year-old son called Harry (a diminutive of Henry).
I haven't checked to and fro to see if there is any conflicting information for this family.
It does tie in with a birth for Henry James BROOKES in Leicester in 1892q4.

I have followed the family back a bit, and it certainly seems plausible.
