In my previous post I forgot to mention that George Read (1785-1851) and Ann Brown (1790-1863?) were possibly married between 1810 and 1820. Their sons Richard and George were born in 1814 and 1828 respectively. I have not found a record of their marriage in the Parish records on this website and I wonder if in fact they were married at all. If not, this might explain why subsequent generations sometimes referred to themselves as BROWN rather than READ?
