I don't know if anyone can help but I have an ancestor John Brin(d)ley who was b 1812 - 1815 according to which census you read. In several censuses it says that he came from Bersham in N.Wales but having extensively searched the parish records there he doesn't appear. However, in one census it says that he came from 'Staffs' There are several John Brin(d)ley's coming from Staffordshire at this time He was married in Buckinghamshire in 1838 to Mary Butler and had children in Shropshire, Deddington and Wells I would love to hear from anyone who is researching this family Kind regards Pauline

Hi Pauline, The 1881 census says he was born Wrexham. Also there are several trees on Ancestry which say Wrexham but other places are mentioned as well. One tree owner cites the Sharp Family Tree as his/her source. Hope this helps.
