GLADSTONE Dora Leeds
9b 875


Births Jun 1890
Brookstone Isaac Leeds
9b 491

Births Jun 1892

9b 465

Births Dec 1897

Nathan Brookstone is not in FreeBMD as dying, in the interim.

Does he or Dora get a mention in the 1901 - without seeing them linked it is all conjecture, with the name spellings altering

Yes Dora was originally Dabo in 1861 - they try so hard not to make easy for us!

So it looks like the family adopted the name Harrison between birth of Louis/Lewis in 1892 and Jacob in 1893.
