by Jean Herbert , Leeds Yorkshire, Wednesday, December 26, 2007, 08:45 (6246 days ago)

William Brain born abt 1806 married for the second time to Sussannah in Dec 1846. There were three children of this union - Mary born abt 1841 East Dean, Margaret born abt 1848 East Dean and Jesse (various spellings on census) born abt 1850.

Working on decendancy of children: Mary last found on 1851 census living at home with her parents in Edge Hills age 10. Not found on any further records.

Margaret Brain - Found on 1851 and 1861 cenus at home with her parents in Edge Hills. On 1871 census Margaret is shown living with her father William and her sister Beta, who was born of the first marriage of William to Sophia.

Margaret is shown with the surname of HANNEL and with her are her two children Elizabeth Hannel age 2 born abt 1869 Edge Hills and Catherine Hannel age 8 months born abt 1870 Edge Hills.

I checked the actual census for the correct surname spelling but cannot make it out and have not found a marriage for Margaret Brain married to a Hannel.

Jesse Brain born abt 1850 married Margaret Murrell and they had 11 children - names can be provided if anyone is interested.

I would be interested if anyone can shed some light on the marriage of Margaret and her sister Mary. Jean Herbert

Adendum

Recent communication from a Forest of Dean subscriber correctly transcribed the surname HANNEL as MURRELL. Margaret Murrell, the future wife of Jesse Brain, son of William, was at the same address as her future father-in-law, along with her two children. She and Jesse married in 1871. So, this eliminates this particular Margaret from my search but have still to find Williams two daughters Mary and Margaret.
