Mike, I received a download of the will and it is the right family, as far as Elizabeth is concerned as she is mentioned as Elizabeth Rose in the will.  I am still not sure if Henry is my correct ancester.   Elizabeth is my gggrandmother, who with James Rose (dental surgeon), who had George Henry b 22 Jun 1818; d 7 Aug 1886, James Edward (my ggrandfather) b 2 Jul 1820; d 26 May 1893, John Charles b 13 May 1822; d 8 Sep 1824, John Frederick b 10 Mar 1824; d ?, & Elizabeth Helen b 8 Dec 1825, may have died before 1841.  All were born in Liverpool, Lancashire, England.   James Edward (also a dental surgeon) m 2nd Isabella Jane Brooks b 4 Oct 1842 (St Pancras), d 13 Dec 1907 (Birkenhead, Cheshire) m 3 Mar 1868 (Havant (South Hayling), Hampshire, England), daughter of Henry Brooks (Elizabeth's brother??) and James (Jane) Isabella Nichols.  (Appears that he married his cousin??)   I apologize for the double emails as my computer keeps defaulting to msn email when I try to reply directly to your emails.  Should be fixed on Tuesday when my computer literate son comes home.   If you need further information let me know.   Bob

Hi Bob,Im glad it was the right will,It makes it all worth while.If you Had recieved Info Before then Go with That until It is proved.The will Will give more Details Than Lds.As most are only Submitted,By Members.And they do sometimes get it wrong.Jelora Helps in The Lds in Texas.And told us they are Developing a New More Accurate System.So we should be able to get Better results.I only sent those to you as Marriages in The area.Thats why i Said not 100%.I realised you Had Info On the family.So it was on that More Guesswork Referring To ages.If i find any More  Out i will Let you Know

Mike, this is my family.  However, I am not sure where LDS got the birth date from.  I already have a record confirmation from the National Archives (Record BXCB 221771, Page 243, Vol.1 Dec 1842. Dist: St Pancras; County Middlesex).  The LDS date may be her confirmation date.    What I am trying to confirm is if this Henry Brooks is the same Henry Brooks listed as Cox Brooks' son in his will.   Thanks, Bob

Mike, before you go to far with this one, I don't think this is my family.  Birth records and/or sites listing birth dates show Jane Isabella Nichols as either Jane Isabella or James Isabella.  Records show that her parents are James Nichols and Isabella Cairns.  Bob

Hi Bob,Thanks for letting Me Know,At least that Wont take up any time searching.You Could Get The Medal index cards .For James on The National Archives,And can Most probably track his record back to.As he was in Royal Navy

Mike, I looked at the marriage record copy that I received last year for Henry Brooks and James Isabella Nichols, and Cox Brooks is his father.  Application # PAS1067025.  Her name on the record, believe or not is James, and father is also James, R.N. Royal Navy.  Document dated 30 Oct 1841.  Not sure how I missed that information, must be old age.  Bob

Hi Bob,Sorry im late getting back to you,Well at least you have that side sorted Hopefully.

Did the will Give anything Away.As i know How Difficult some are to read.
