Hi Sheila
In answer to the Charles Brookes thoughts - this is what I have:
George Croome, born June 1868 at Hewelsfield, baptised at Hewelsfield on 14th June 1868. He married Susannah Burgess in December 1889. I do not know where the marriage took place.
George & Susannah had two children Adele and Ralph (a suggestion has been made that Ralph may have been adopted). Adele married Charles Brookes and Ralph married an Anne.
Adele & Charles had two children: Albert and Leonard.
Ralph & Anne had Peter, again, who who may have been adopted.
Your story about a French connection is fascinating. My father used to speak about this possibility because we have a Delahaye connection in our family. A good story, but no real evidence!
Regards
Dennis Croome
