Hi Slowhands

This information could show up an error in my family tree. Whilst the dates of birth for William Brain 1785 vary, for instance his 1849 burial entry shows him as 71 = born 1778. Who do you think his parents are ? There is a William Brain baptised 5.8.1787 Ruardean son of William Brain and Ann Whittingham, but there is also a burial entry for this William 7.9.1810 Ruardean, son of William & Ann.

I have William Brain 1807 son of William Brain & Beata Beddis as married to (1) Sophia Annis married Flaxley 10.10.1831, with daughter Beata baptised 12.1.1834. I have him then married to Susannah Hayward 3.12.1846 Drybrook – witnesses Charles Hayward & Emily Brain
In my family tree I have a William Brain baptised 23.1.1803 son of James Brain & Hannah Blanch, married to Susannah, they have children Mary, Margaret & Jessie. I have no marriage for Mary, but Margaret married George Tyler with 2 children Jessie & Elizabeth. Jessie married Margaret Murrell and they had 11 children :

1851 Census
BRAIN William 46 Quarryman Little Deam
Susanna 28 Little Dean
Beata 17 East Dean
Mary 10 East Dean
Margaret 3 East Dean
Jessee 1 East Dean

1861 Census East Dean
William Brain 56 Ag Lab East Dean
Susannah wife 39 East Dean
Beata 20 East Dean
Margaret 14 East Dean
Jessie 12 East Dean

1871 Census East Dean 2601/47
William Brain wdr 67 Lab Little Dean
Beta dtr 37 Edgehill East Dean
Jessie 21 son Edgehill East Dean
Margaret Murrell mother 22 Newent
Elizabeth dtr 2 Edgehill East Dean
Catherine dtr 8 mths Edgehill East Dean

Jessie was killed in a Mine accident 2lst December 1897 - Foxes Bridge Mine.

So, going back to my original question, who are the parents of William Brain whose documented age varies between 1773 – 1785, who married Beata Beddis 1.1.1807.
