  • Notes 
    • Brooks Family

      In October 2023 I was working my way through my Ancestry DNA matches.
      As part of that process I added the Brooks family.
      Unfortunately I had to break off the process for two months.
      When I came back to look at things I found that I hadn't made a solid connection to anyone else.
      The most logical connection would be that Robert Lomas Brooks has the middle name 'Lomas'
      Also his father appears (1911 census) to have been a 'Vocalist'
      There is also a link to Oldham area
      All this leads me to think that their might be connection to Robert Lomas.
      Ancestry Trees that might help are:
