Hi Roughyedbach & Slowhands

I've been off line for over a week ISP problem - "Error 721". Just catching up but thought I would add to this debate.

Jessie Brain was the son of William Brain 1807 & Susannah Hayward 1822.
Jesssie was killed in a Mine accident –Details - Foxes Bridge Mine. Fall of roof at the face of the twenty inch vein from a slip which he was aware of and a joint which was not visible. The place seemed to been fairly well timbered. He died 2lst December 1897

William Brain 1807 had been married previously to Sophia Annis 1803/1843 who gave birth to Beata 1834. Susannah Hayward had also been married previously to James Harris. Their daughter Mary Ann Harris 1841 married William Brain 1838.
Absalom Grindle was the son of Joseph Grindle 1816 & Emily Brain. Emily Brain was the daughter of William Brain 1785 & Beata Beddis, the parents of William Brain 1807.........which was where we came in above, parents of Jessie.
