Notes

From http://www.tributaries.info/p5871.htm#i58701

Thomas/a Brooke, apparently the eldest surviving son, was probably born in Manchester, Lancashire, perhaps about 1565.2 In his father's will, dated 5 Aug 1607, Thomas was to share with brothers Robert and William one third of the estate; received a cash legacy of £10; was to have the leased house and shop should the widow remarry; and was named co-executor with the widow (who may or may not have been his birth mother). An additional bequest in the will names Thomas's four living children.1

Thomas Brooke of Manchester, a shoemaker like his father, was buried 13 Oct 1617.3
