Younger brother John, has done some tremendous research into our family tree which is why this blog post focuses on the results of his labours, to date.
He managed to trace an old picture of our great aunt (see below) younger sister of great grand mother.Youngest brother reports that:
She married a man called Walter Brookman in Chelsea (Brompton?) and eventually ended up in Australia. She lived to 1941
Interestingly she bears some resemblance to our oldest but now sadly deceased, sister. She also bears some resemblance to 11 year old granddaughter whom mrs maytrees and I occasionally call micro-dot.
Younger brother's researches also led him to conclude that our great great grand mother may have been an Elizabeth Toohig whose parents seem to have died in Ireland during the potato famine there. She a 12 year old,apparently fled to Southampton and married Mr Burkett Martin. In years to come one of their children married a Jeremiah Crawley who was our great grand father.
In any event relevant aspects of our family tree appear thus:
