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.
