WINDLE; ENG; 1840-1864 I am researching the family of Jane WINDLE.

WINGFIELD; ENG; 1431-1476 I am researching the family of Elizabeth WINGFIELD. She married Sir William BRANDON and they had a daughter Margaret BRANDON who was born after 1431 in England. Margaret BRANDON was said to be the aunt of Charles BRANDON, the Duke of Suffolk. William and Elizabeth apparently may have had two daughters named Margaret, and one of them may have married Hugh MANNING around 1476. The MANNINGs lived in St. Mary's Cray, England. I am uncomfortable about this possible connection because this woman doesn't seem to be clearly named (at least in the references I have seen). In his account of St. Mary Cray, Hasted (Vol. I, P. 141) describes Hugh MANNING "who was of St. Mary Cray and married the daughter of Sir William BRANDON, knt. kinswoman to Charles, Duke of Suffolk". Apparently the Visitation pedigree of the Manning family has Hugh MANNING married to the aunt of Charles BRANDON, Duke of Suffolk, that is a daughter of Sir William BRANDON. This all seems a bit iffy to me, especially when this connection is particularly crucial to me. Does anyone happen to have any relevant information about the children of Elizabeth WINGFIELD and Sir William BRANDON? Or know of anyone else who might be able to help me pin this down? If anyone has any information or suggestions, please send e-mail to BarbPretz@aol.com. Thanks for your help! Barb

O'BRIEN / BRYANT; IRL>ENG>MA,USA; 1828-1835 Looking for the O'Briens/Briants/Bryants. Briefly, the mother and father, Timothy [Laborer and Farmer] and Joanna (Hart) O'Brien were born in Munster Province, Ireland, as was my great great grandfather (Timothy and Joanna's son), Michael Cullen O'Brien. Timothy and Joanna were born between 1798 and 1803. Sometime between 1828 and 1832, they emigrated to Essex, England (exactly where in Essex county still remains a mystery). It is there that their second son, Daniel W. [Webster?] O'Brien, was born on 8 September 1832. By 22 December 1835 and possibly as early as 1832/33, the family moved to the United States, possibly entering Canada first. On 22 December 1835, Timothy and Joanna had their first daughter, born in Massachusettes, Mary Emily. Their second daughter, Ann Louisa, was born the following year. Michael [Shoemaker by trade], son of Timothy and Joanna, married Harriet Naramore Hawley in 1850 (July 4th - documented) in Newburyport, MA. They had several children, Harriet, Pamelia, Silas, Julia, etc. Between 1850 and 1855 Mary Emily married Allen Robinson. They had several children. Daniel [Shoemaker], and second son of Timothy and Joanna, was married in 1855 to Harriet Frances Robinson, daughter of Timothy Robinson (b. in Sydney, ME) and Sarah Robinson. He was killed in the American Civil War at the battle of Antietam. He is buried in the National Cemetery there. About 1856/57 the family Timothy, Joanna, Allen, Mary Emily, Michael, and Harriet, as well as Ann Louisa moved to Rochester, New York. Then, in 1865 all except Michael and his family moved back to Georgetown, MA. Michael served in the 108th New York Vols. as a private, corporal, and finally sergeant in Company E. He was wounded three times, once at the Wilderness, once at Antietam, and once at Gettysburg. In 1872 he died in Tiffin, Iowa, (from Typhoid fever) while on his way to Nebraska to file a Homesteader's claim in accordance with the Homestead Act of 1862 that granted extra credit for service to Union veterans. Here is the deal on the surname transition, and this is pretty reliable. The family started out as "O'Brien." Sometime between 1838 and 1850, the family began to use the name "Briant." This continued until sometime around 1856/57, at which time everybody in the U.S seems to have switched to "Bryant," the name the descendants here are known by till this day. Except there were still at least a couple of instances when the various members of the family were documented as O'Briens again. In addition, when Timothy and Joanna were elderly and finally died in Georgetown, MA, they reverted back to the surname O'Brien. Both are buried someplace in Haverhill under the name O'Brien. Since I have been researching the leads in the Essex area due to the fact that Daniel, Timothy and Joanna's second son, was born there, I have contacted the Essex County Record Office and family History Office in Chelmsford. I was interested, because of the time frame, in possible church records. I was advised, much to my dismay, that a search in Essex County without knowing the exact parish/town would be impossible. So, I am trying everything I can to locate the exact town/parish. So far, I have . . . 1. Had a very nice lady check check the 1851 census indexes for Essex for me as we thought at one time that the family may have returned there. She located all the Briants and all the Bryants. None looked like my people, of course, as it turned out that they hadn't revisited Essex. England at all. However, there was a Timothy Briant from Cork living in Leyton at the time. He was 65. 2. I also searched in the 1881 census indexes for Essex. This was a bit more interesting. I found the following . . . Louisa Brian (Briant?) Aged 41 living in the home of Samuel S. Davis as a domestic servant. This was in Leyton Low (Not sure what the "Low" means.). It gives the place of birth as "Co. of Birth - NK." I wonder if this translates to "County of Birth Not Known." If so, perhaps his could be the second daughter of Timothy and Joanna. She was born in Massachusettes. Since my information on her age is from a census, it is possible that her age of 41 is close enough to make her a possibility. We did lose all mention of Louisa after 1861. However, we are still working on finding her. OF COURSE IT TURNED OUT THAT NONE OF THESE FOLKS WERE OUR FAMILY, AND THAT IS FOR SURE AT THIS POINT AS WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL OF THEM except Ann Louisa. Since it appears that most of the Briants/Bryants in Essex in 1881 were from the Cork area, I am beginning to wonder if it might be a fair guess to assume a high probability of emigration for my O'Briens from Cork. I am wondering if there might not have been a regular boat service from Cork to London that would have made this a possibility in 1828-1832. I know that from Dublin, most Irish and English Irish people traveled over to Liverpool. This seems to suggest to me that it might not be as likely that my family came through there. Oh well, thanks for listening to my ramblings. If anyone sees a possible connection, please get in touch with me at my e-mail address: ctucker@wzrd.com We do have much more specific information on children, vital stat's dates, etc., more than time and space will allow here.
