Hello Carol, Cornelius Brain, a farmer, had the farm from 1841 to 1861. according to the census. My aunt said her mother Ethel Fanny Brain nee Hatton, my Grand mother was brought up on a farm. Cornelius Brain was her G/Grand father, but she was not born till 1882, so it was not that farm on less John Mansell was some relation. Ethels father was Cornelius Brain who married Sarah Bennett. The family moved to Cheshire around 1903, thats were I come in. If you could E-mail the map of the farm I would be grateful, has I forgot to say Cornelius who had the farm, Spingfield was my G/G/G/Grand father born in 1800. Thanks again for the info. Hope to hear from you again Dave Margerison
