 1826 - 1900 (~ 74 years)
-
| Name |
William BROOKS |
| Born |
CA 1826 |
County Fermanagh, Ireland  [1, 2] |
- Descendants of William say they have a family Bible which states he was born 28th July 1828 in Glasgow, Scotland.
1880 USA Census says he is age 45 [1835] born in Ireland.
Children's later Census state both parents born in Ireland.
Birth Certificate for Richard Brooks in 1855 states William is age 29 [1826] and comes from Fermanagh, Ireland
My only conclusion is to query how old the family bible is and who wrote the dates and place names of birth.
