Hi
Can some knowledgeable person tell me where Bream Woodside was?
John Jenkins b 1855 was supposedly born there. His birth certificate says he was born Breams Eaves but the 1871 census says Breamwoodside as does his death certificate ( 1913 in NZ)
Thanks

Imagine a village / settlement - call it Bream
If you go north a hundred yards from the centre of the settlement called Bream towards Parkend , then the houses ahead are in an area called Bream Eaves.
If you were to have gone west-ish towards Brockhollands, you would find yourself in Bream Woodside.
you can use Goggle maps , find Bream ,then the high st and you should spot brockhollands rd to the west.
In reality these two areas sit side by side and it would be hard to draw a line between the two :-)
