Hi Rodders,
your mention of James & Eliza Brain at the Bush Inn Hawsley reminds me of this great photo which I hope you've seen. As well as their grandson young Frank Brain, the photo includes my Gran's older brother Evan Taylor who was aged 49 when this was taken.

On the general subject of the Brain families around Ruardean, Jim Ashton has posted many times about them on the forum, hopefully he will see your thread and can maybe clarify things. eg

Failing that you may like to send him a P.M.
