Seeking info on Noel Brooks, 1914-2006
am writing a biography of a couple who were a 20th c. pastor & wife and am looking for information as to where he was born and married for use in the work. They both wrote and some of the woman's writings were biographical but without many facts, places, names, etc.His writings were more theological.
His name was Noel BROOKS, son of Absalom and Mary Mason BROOKS. His grandfather was named Jonathan and he was a collier. He was born in Yorkshire area circa 1914.He a sister Philis who died ca,. 1916 and a younger brotehr named Leslie.
Her name was Nora WRIGHT and she was born about 1910-11 ( she said she was about 4-5 yrs old when the Zeppelins flew over in WW1 and this would coincide with the ca1915 attack in Sheffield).Her birth mother had died and she was placed in foster care.She later identified in her writings a sister named Ivy and a brother named Hubert. She resided in and around Sheffield and Rotherham in her early years.
I am very anxious to
1) locate any of the relatives to interview and
2) learn more about where they were born, when, and the names of parents (or find obits with such info).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
She later married a minister named Noel Brooks and they were married for over fifty years. They had no children, however.
