Hi Graham The Rich Brittain, occupier of place in Felmersham has interested me . From IGI, I have tracked a Richard Brittain b about 1744 Felmersham who married an Elizabeth, & they had daughter Elizabeth 1776 Felmersham. I have it that daughter Elizabeth married in 1798 a John Whittal born 1775, this pair had daughter Sarah Whittal b 1808 Felmersham, & Sarah married a John Partridge b 1804 Oakley Beds. The John Whittal had brother Thomas b 1779 who married Elizabeth, & had daughter Catherine 1805. Now she married Charles Partridge of Bletsoe in 1826. So what do you know if this Felmersham, Richard Brittain ? Regards John. ----- Original Message ----- From: "micas" <micas69@bigpond.net.au> To: <BEDFORD-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, June 12, 2006 12:30 AM Subject: Re: [BDF] Brittain Family > Hello John > > My wife, Doris and I are staying a few days with Carole and Mike.
