Hi,
I am looking to confirm that that parents of a Joseph Brookhouse born 1831 in Derby are a John and Elizabeth Brookhouse.

Joseph had many children, my link being an Ernest. I think his wife was called Mary.

I am aware of 2 1841 census' which both record a Joseph Brookhouse aged 10 in Derby, although of different parishes and the other Joseph has parents, Joseph and Jane.

Thanks in advance

:-D :-D

Yes that's the family I believe Joseph to be from (also found this census and surname listed as Brookhaus) presume that's an error.
Just wanted to make sure as wasn't aware of another census with another joseph.

There's an ad in the Derby Mercury - Wednesday 28 June 1854 from Mrs Brookhouse, widow of John Brookhouse (plaster) stating that her son John will be taking over her late husband's business.
