Hello Ruth, do you happen to know when and where Edith and Gertrude died?

Their death records may help us with birth years to work from.

I've found a John Randolph Brook born 1860, married 1884.

Could this possibly be him?

Births Jun 1860
BROOK John Randolph St George S 1d 114

Marriages Sep 1884
BROOK John Randolph Greenwich 1d 14[380]7

Can't get to marriage yet cos of dodgy number/link

ADDED spouses were Emma Fox or Sarah Jane Grant for this marriage

They were sisters. Not sure where they were born but Edith is reported as being born circ 1901 with their father being John Randolp Brooks. But cannot find any trace on census' etc. Edith eventually made home in Maidenhead, Berks with John Scrase and Gertrude was in Tontine Lane, Caerau, Merther with Charlie Wheeler and 3 children (twins plus Stella who emigrated to States)
Any help appreciated.
