Find Ancestors

Looking for more information on my maternal greatgrandmother.

My understanding is that she was probably named Deborah Kate Matthews - although 'Kate' seems to be what she was called by most people.

In 1905 she married Charles (Emmanuel) Brookes. When he died around 1911 she probably remarried at least twice before she became known as Kate Whitehouse.

She had three maybe four children: Albert Brookes, Ted Millworth(?), and Florence.

She died around 1962 having lived in Birmingham all her life.

Her father's name will be on her marriage certs............

What name did she marry under in 1905?

Her correct name was Deborah Kate.............

Hi there, i see you were looking into your great grandmother Deborah Kate Wale - she was married to my Great x 3 Grandfather Charles Emanuel Brookes with whom she had children. Do you have any information on Charles as I am stuck?

Thanks, Adrian

Ps She had another child with Charles called Walter born 1911

As Neil didn't have the decency to acknowledge the help given to him in 2008........hardly surprising, I suppose, as he didn't even bother to say 'please'..........I doubt that he will see your message............

If you want help with your research, you'd be better off starting a thread of your own............

As you haven't started another thread, I'll happily continue with this one so that info isn't duplicated.
