Bibe is a Man

I have him in my Family Tree as his wife Leah Grindle was the daughter of Joseph Grindle and Emily Brain, and only then because she was one of the 10 children of William Brain 1785 & Beata Beddis 1785. Her brother James Brain 1807 married my half first cousin 4 times removed Mary Herbert 1809. The inter marriage between the Brain's and Grindles of this family almost defies belief.
