Another thing I'd appreciate some help with, please, as I can't seem to see the wood for the trees.

I've been searching for the baptism date and details contained within that record for a cousin of the two William Gorton Brookers above-mentioned.

On Family Search site it says:

Richard Brooker, bapt 28 April 1833, Liverpool,St Peter;
Chld of Richard Brooker and Charlotte Bainbridge Brooker.

I've checked St Peter's baptisms several times over and still can't find his baptism - checked the other parish records too but no joy.

Is anyone able to help, please?

Hi JoyLouise

Have found the image on Ancestry where he has been stupidly mistranscribed as Richard Nelson!

The image says:

Richard = Richard & Charlotte Bainbridge Brooker, Eaton Street, Vaux Hall Road, Joiner.

There are later baptisms for other children.

EDIT: Have sent the image by pm

Many thanks, indeed for the information about Richard, MarieCeleste.

I'll take a look at the grave records site, thank you Chris.

Also, thanks for the information about William Gorton Brooker too, Yvonne.

(Incidentally, MarieCeleste, these are my ancestors whose family Elizabeth Jeffrey married into - see one of the witness's names at the marriage of Richard Brooker and Charlotte Bainbridge Whatton.)

Thank you all again.

Just thought I'd post this comment as I've looked at the Kingston Register image.

There were 12 burials on that page and only five were older than William who was 42.

I was quite surprised at the number of younger deaths.
