Brooks family Armagh

ArmaghArmagh (Armagh)

William James Brooks born 1836 emigrated to Canda 1855. Landed in Montreal, Canada. Appears to be William Henry James Brooks in church records as well. Obituary states he came with his parents. No names listed. Farmed near Hamilton Ontario Canada and then in 1895 bought farm land in Rural Municipality of Hamiota Manitoba Canada. Church records also list for a period of 2 years a Mary Brooks living in Hamiota, Manitoba Canada. May have been a Sister or Niece.

It would be a good idea to keep a record of any Brooks you happen across as they are not very common:
