Hi Dorothy,
I think you will need to be a little more specific than just giving the surname Brooksbank.
Perhaps you could give a christian name or two, and a rough timespan. What or who is it you are searching for?
I have put the name Brooksbank into a search (1911 Census) and 1,204 records come up!!!

Have you tried the online Bishops Transcipts at familysearch.org? They parish registers are there for Sherburn 1813 - 1835.
