Hi Margaret
So Far everything fit until jane get married unless George Died alot early and Elizabeth remarried.

I don't think that is the right George Death as he came from Deptford and I think his father was called Samuel, I am trying to find the marriage on cityark no luck at the moment.

MargaretM Report 16 Apr 2009 18:02

I don't know what to think now, Lyn, I was so excited thinking I'd found them in Canada. The daughter Maud fit and the fact that Elizabeth was older than George but then it went wrong. That George E. T. Brain is the father of Jane/Jennie but he was married to Elizabeth Blackmore and he was born in Bristol. Darn it!
