Can someone please look for John Alfred Middlebrook born c1857 Leeds.
On the 1881 census he is areated water maker in Ilkley. He has a brother E L Middlebrook..
Can you look for this family before and after 1881

This is to help someone I know who was a Middlebrook and said her family were related to the brewery

Ada Middlebrook age 41 died 1908 sept qt Scarborough. ( gro no vol 9d page 23(09) . Image check needed for that one.

Talking to my Middlebrook friend today she told me her father was Walter Middlebrook born 1900/1901 in New Zealand.
Walter died in 1932 age 31. My friend was 1 year 10 months old when he died.
His father was John Middlebrook who came to New Zealand when he was 9. Friend says John was the brewer. She does not have a computer so had no idea where the family came from only Yorkshire. Im at a loss to match this John with the Middlebrook family she mentions.
John Albert Middlebrook with son John A age 4 .This John would be too young to father a son in New Zealand in 1900/1

Has anyone access to ships lists or NZ births to look for any Middlebrooks?
