Hi Olwyn,

Thanks for your mesg. I am almost sure that Mary's parents were Richard and Caroline ,as one of the witness at Reubens marriage was a R H Brain, who I think was Mary's brother . Also that is the only Mary Brain I can find living in Bream at aroud about the time Reuben was born. Unfortuneatley I can't find him on the 1871 1881 or 1891 census form under the name of Brain, it has been sugessted that he may have been brought up by someone else. I have been given the info of Richard and Carolines marriage and her surname was Beach, father Henry as you say. If you have any dates on Henry Beach or where he was born I would gladly have a go at looking for info for you.
