I am looking for info on ARTHUR CYRIL BROOKES b1896. He had a sister MABEL DAISY BROOKES and their parents are ARTHUR BROOKES and ELIZABETH CLARKSON.

I know he died 1961 in Hillcrest hospital Leicester but this is the only info I have.

Any help??

Buy the death cert for info - the informant may have been a relative

Apologies - that info was given by earlier responder!

How did you manage to view the actual Will, Hamster?

Perhaps I worded my reply wrong Reggie.

I looked at the 'England & Wales, National Probate Calendar (Index of Wills and Administrations), 1858-1966 Record for Arthur Cyril Brookes' on Ancestry and transcribed what I saw.

Crossed wires all round......lol!

Easily done!

New Thread:

Can anyone help with ARTHUR CYRIL BROOKES? I have his birth, marriage and death dates but someone must know of him??

He died in Hillcrest hospital Leicester but is there any way I can find out when he went in there?? The informant on the death cert' is a worker at the hospital.


Have advised Paul better to continue on here.

Thanks for doing that for me MarieCeleste I wasnt aware I could only do one post per family name, sorry.

Arthur Brookes does not appear to be in any family trees (I have already looked).

I have all his main dates however its as if no-one knew him.

Where can i buy a copy of Arthur Brookes will?
