Researching James Turner & Mary Handley + BRAWN & JONES (General)

My g.g.grandmother was Hannah TURNER (b.1832 Hereford Walford) who married James BRAWN (b.1835 Hereford St Johns) in Dec 1861 @ St Martin, Hereford.

James BRAWN was the son of Daniel BRAWN (b.1805 Sandhurst)and Mary JONES (b.abt.1797 Hereford Walford). Mary was a school mistress whilst Daniel was a gardener.

Hannah TURNER was, I believe, the daughter of James TURNER and Mary HANDLEY who married @ Sutton St Nicholas, Hereford around 1817. If I'm correct, they had other children i.e. Thomas b. 1825, Harriet b. 1829 then Hannah (my g.g.gran)in 1832.

I would love to have contact with any of their descendents still down there in Hereford areas to swap famhist information.

Between 1871 (after the census take) and 1873 James & Hannah BRAWN moved the family up to Woolton, Liverpool (though it is shown as Prescot in some documents) and the Liverpool side of the family grew from there!

My mother was directly descended from the Brawn/Turner side and the family are spread between Liverpool and Cheshire.

I would also appreciate any information/confirmation that I have the correct marriage details for Hannah TURNER'S parents as all I am certain of is that her father was James TURNER and his occupation of 'carpenter'.
