My father tells me that his grandmother, Ethel Baker (nee Brobyn) was a cook at Speech House and it was whilst working there she met her husband Frank who was working as a fish salesman. Ethel was born in 1870.
My family name is Brain, my father Ronald James, son of Edward Jesse & Gladys Ellen (nee Baker). Edward Jesse was the son of Simeon and Simeon the son of Jesse (killed at Foxesbridge mine 1897)etc, etc. Any connection?
