Find Ancestors

Trying to find siblings of a Alfred Brookes born 1852 parents Henry & Mary Brookes Warwickshire /Birmingham. I dont have Mary maiden name i have tried to find Henry & Mary marriage but no luck Henry middle name is James .
I even tried putting in Harry instead of Henry as father .
Any info i be grateful
Yrs Dave

Have you looked for them on any census

Why do you assume that he had siblings?

What was his father's occupation?

How do you connect with him?

What does the FREE 1881 census say about his place of birth?

How do you know the forenames of both parents?

I checked the census, would be possible Alfred to be only child. names of his parents forenames were given to me by a distant relative. Alfred would be a gr gr grand parent . The only clue i have is that they lived in Aston of Birmingham

So, who did he marry?

Buy the cert..........it will name his father

Don't take at face value any info for which there isn't documentary backup

Which child of his marriage is your direct line?

You say they 'lived in Aston'..........when was that?

Is THIS him?

Thank you all for time and help so far , Im grateful . Im direct to Alfred Brookes b 1852 on my mothers side . Your right Reggie never take things at face value people do get mixed up , but at same time give little clues .
The Derby line fits in with info i now have found . They lived in Aston in 1860s right through to 1891
