Me again, David Brimson, There is, if I can remember only one Brinson on the Mormon IGI for Essex & that's Thomas Brinson.Wanstead is now part of London & I have my A-Z book in front of me with the page open. A motorway (freeway) goes right through it (M11) & to the left is a park & golf course. It is very built up by houses & road's. Originaly it would have been a tranquill village or hamlet but it's hard on this map to see where the original village was. Only the old church would indicate this. There is a surname card index in the Essex Record's Office which I looked at a couple of years ago but nothing was found under the name of Brinson or variant's I could think of. I spent a week in Chelmsford were the record's office is. It would be usefull to look at the parish register to see who the parent's of Thomas are & also if he had sibling's. There is nothing on the IGI, though this is far from complete. Quick do a search on Wanstead to see what it look's like now, mmmm !? I haven't searched yet as I just thought of it whilst typing this out.
