Hi All Following terrible finger trouble with my last message, it was sent out with more than half of it missing - I will try again. I am back to the Welsh side of the family - an entry appears in FreeBMD which I believe to be my GGMother. The entry reads: Births 1862 - BRIMMER Jane - Merthyr T - 11A - 369 - kira. Taking this information into the 1881 census gives her father as Thomas BRIMMER, born in Reading, Berkshire, and her mother as Mary Ann ? from Solihew, Warwick, England. (I think this may be Solihull). Thomas would have been born c 1822 and Mary Ann c 1829. On familysearch I have a Thomas BRIMMER christened on 14 Jul 1822 at St Mary, Reading, Berkshire, England. with parents Edward BRIMMER and Martha ? I would like to confirm these connections? Is there anyone else interested in the same name? Phil Marston, Amesbury, (Nr Stonehenge) Wiltshire UK.
