I'm 90% sure James is a "Collafield" BRAIN
< he is not the James 1807 who married Mary Herbert>
Beateah BEDDIS was from Awre, she married into this BRAIN line in an earlier generation.

James BRAIN who married Agnes ROBERTS at Awre

I am trying to link up two completely separate files on the Brain family. I am sure that they connect up somewhere but cannot find the link.

The one I am interested in at the moment is a James Brain who married Agnes Roberts on 17 Sep 1832. Found marriage details on Parish Records. Record id - 993, Entry no: 209. Shows wittnesses as: Benjamin Brain and Charles Fennel but does not show parents of either bride or Groom.

Found James and Agnes and family on census 1841-1851-1861 (not found on further census). Agnes died in 1859 Oct/Nov/Dec qtr Vol 6a, page 131. Registered in Westbury on Severn but not found death date for James.

Would really like to know who his parents were. As census returns give various dates of birth I am not sure which is the correct date. Would be grateful for any help. Regards Jean Herbert
