Alice Brook Born in 1890 & could have been born in Bradford West Yorkshire, Her Father was called william Brook & He was a miner. She had possible Brrothers & Sisters called Tom 1886, Martha 1897 & Mary 1898. Does anyone know who her mother was called. Alice Married Harrison Wood in 1909 in Leeds.
Her Father was called Willam brook a coal Miner does ring any bells. I know there is a Leeds connection
