Hello to anyone out there, Just signed on to this list, having been on various others around the country, including Bristol and Som. My Brain family ended up in Bristol mid 1800's, but before that originate from various parts of Glos. My 5x gt grandfather SAMUEL BRAIN was born in Eastington, 1762. His son CHARLES was born in Westbury-on-Severn, 1791, and married ANN HIAMS. They had 4 ch. that I know of including CHARLES, b 1820, in Hartpury, who married ANN JONES. They had 7 ch. including THOMAS, b 1844, in Maisemore, who married HELEN SMITH, and then ELLEN BOULTER, in Bristol in 1869. From that time the family remain in Bristol. Has anyone got any links to any of my Brains?? I'd be pleased to hear from you, Cheers, Lindsey Guest
