	That is definitely the Joseph I'm looking for, I just can't place him exactly in my tree. I have a lot of brookhouses all originating from Derby, either this Joseph is of no relation which I do find unlikely but still possible, or I'm missing some link in my tree. My Brookhouse paternal link goes as far back as a John Brookhouse c1744 who married an Elizabeth Simpson. I can't find any siblings for John, maybe Joseph is a line from one of his siblings. :-S
