Hi, has anyone been able to establish the parentage of Thomas Brain b1734 who married Elizabeth Nelms b1732 on 24.10.1762 in Little Dean?
I seem to be at one of those brick walls again and any help would be most appreciated.

Littledean BRAYN/BRAYNE/BRAINE/BRAIN/BARRON

Notes: Listed for 1731, in this record the surname was not clear so the best guess was given.

Christening: Littledean 24 March 1745, Hester daughter of Thomas & Hester BRAYNE

Burial : 3 February 1746, Hester, daughter of Thomas BRAYNE

also

christening: 19 May 1739 Little Dean, Mary, daughter of Thomas & Hester BARNES

a few Thomas BRAYNE deaths listed around this time at Littledean, including Thomas BRAYNE Sen. 14 March 1748.
