Do you think that there is enough evidence now that it was your Peter and Elizabeth brooks who emigrated please?

I am not sure how you would find Elizabeth (nee Parkinson)'s death but at least you can narrow it to between 1900 and 1905 in New Jersey.

Almost certainly - many thanks for your help much appreciated

Not at all sure about this one as someone has added "wife of John Brooks" and death date is unknown.

Name: Elizabeth Brooks
Birth Date: 1851
Burial Place: Vineland, Cumberland County, New Jersey, USA
