Hi Matt

I recall your posting mentioning that George Read & Ann Brown had not married, also your having the Will information. This helped to explain the use of Brown/Read & Brown Read in subsequent offsprings baptism and marriage information.

It is difficult to be absolutely positive about relationships, prior to the advent of certificates in 1837, but I have George Read who was the partner of Ann Brown as the son of Richard Read Baptised 13 April 1743 and Margaret. The baptism for George Read took place at Ruardean 10th April 1785 showing his parents as Richard Read and Margaret.

Yes I have Elizabeth Read born 1818 but not baptised until 1828 as one of the 2 wives of James Wilce. He went on to marry Charlotte Nelmes 11 May 1851, following the death of Elizabeth nee Read who was buried 27 Apr 1850 Ruardean. I look forward to seeing the George Seniors Will on the web site.
