Hello. My Brooks family came from Ely, Cambridge area, and i am particularly trying to trace Terence. Born between1941 and 1950?? Had a sister Pam/Pamela, who died in her twenties?? Mother was Stella, and father William Newman Brooks who was born in 1908. I believe Terry is married to Ellen?? He moved abroad , maybe Australia? I have been told that Terry had problems with his father, but would appreciate any one who knows him to get in touch. I am a niece from his family that he knows nothing about. Please help add the missing bits to my puzzle Terry!! I can be contacted through this site-- Jacqueline Brooks, born 1969 in Suffolk

Have you tried looking for Terence's birth?

Have you done any research since you first posted 8 years ago?

Who told you that Terence's mother was named Stella?
