    1. [B&D] Thomas Brain/Helen Smith offspring?
    2. Lindsey Guest
    3. Hello all, My gt gt grandfather, Thomas Brain (b 1844) married his first wife, Helen Smith in Kensington, Middx, in 1867. Helen died at 14 Goodhind Street, Clifton, in April 1869, and Thomas married my gt gt grandmother, Ellen Boulter, on Jully 22 1869. As he married so soon after Helen's death, I wondered if she may have died in childbirth (cause of death: acute encephalitis and fever) and if so, did he marry Ellen to raise the child? We have no record of any children from this marriage living in the 1871 census. Thomas and Ellen's first born was named Helena Alice Maud, (in honour of Helen?) but she was born and died in 1870. If anyone has access to baptism records, were any children baptised to Thomas and Helen between 1867-1869? Many thanks, Lindsey
