I firstly have to apologize for LONG delay in replying to you. I used to sound a lot of time on this but after grandchildren came along hadn't got time. Anyway, what I know about MY Albert Brookfield is that he married my great grandmother Elizabeth McLaren in the 1880s and left her (after a son Albert died in infancy). When he left she was pregnant with my grandmother Janet. Other family have discovered he went to Kokomo Indiana and 'married' one Clara Fellows. They had a daughter who died, then TWINS, one of whom survived - Mary Brookfield. He then appears to have come back to his wife in Scotland and fathered eight more children before disappearing. The birth of TWINS in your family rings bells with me as two of the eight were twins and of course the twins in America Do you think this may be the sane man? The name Elizabeth crops up a lot as one daughter in USA had the name then one of his twins un Scotland. This MAY be my great grandfather?
