Lyn
I dont know if you will ever get this but here goes, am trying to help my sister trace her family tree, my sister is P G Davis nee Brain living in Australia, Samuel Brain m to Pheobe Brain nee williams with children, George, Samuel Philip, Pheobe, Eliz!!, Martha, the Samuels we believe to be my sisters gr fthr and gt gr fthr
yours David

Yes I though you have found them as well, but I have just found out that Maud died in 1881 so were have they gone.

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!

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.

Lyn

Daughter Jane/ Jennie's marriage but mother's name is Elizabeth Blackman. Do I have the wrong family after all?
