I am trying to find information about the parents and possible siblings of George Braybrook, born 1825 in Folksworth. I believe his father's name was Robert and he may have had a sister called Lydia but other than that I don't know about his ancestry. I can't find him in any census earlier than 1861 (when he was already on his third marriage) when he was living in Broughton. I believe he was in Australia/New Zealand around 1851 which would explain that absence. Is anyone able to provide any information that would/could help? Thanks in advance ...

Hi hclar1
Folksworth was a small parish - in 1851 the population was 206.
This could be George's parents in 1861?
1861: Folksworth, Huntingdonshire
Ref: RG9/ Piece 964 Folio: 35/ Pg2
Address: (one STreet Only)
Head: Robert BRAYBROOK 75, Ag Lab, b Caston** Huntingdonshire
Wife: Mary BRAYBROOK 61, b Morborne, Huntingdonshire
Son: Robert BRAYBROOK 19, unm, Ag Lab , b Folksworth
** The enumerator seems to have added a note, "query Kelston" or "query Keyston". I thinks this means the enumerator was unsure if "Caston" was correct, and perhaps was a phonetic rendering of "Keyston" which is in Huntingdonshire. Apparently "Keston" was also a form of the name.

Have found Robert & Mary in 1851 too, Will post it up in a mo,
Cheers

I can't find anything for Folksworth 1841.
Not the BRAYBROOK family, nor the GEE and SANSON families which were all on the same page as them in 1851, and with ages and POB to indicate they should have been in Folksworth 1841 
Apparenty though there is a 1841 Census available for Folksworth as described on Genuki, so you may have to source it via CD or something.
http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/HUN/Folksworth/index.html
May be of use?

Robert BRAYBROOK died 1868 per FREEBMD. Mary not until 1878 - she is still in Folksworth
1871: Folsworth Huntingdonshire
Ref: RG10/ Piece 1514/ Folio 38 / Pg2
Head: Mary BRAYBROOK 71, widow, Pauper, b Morbourn
She is apparently living alone.
Your George:
Assume he is the one married Mary BEARD 1854 ST Ives RD , and in 1861 they are in Broughton (with Mary's BEARD brother in the house). Regarding the eldest child in that house - obviously born (to a prior wife?) before the marriage to Mary: George BRAYBROOK age 9, b Broughton
Is he the one, who's birth is registered Jun Qtr 1851 St Ives - as George BRAYBROOK?
Cheers

Thanks again, Ambly. Yes, George married Mary Beard, his third wife! The couple enjoyed 57 years together ...

The only marriage of a Robert Braybrook on Hunts Marriage Index in the right time frame was in 1829 at Folksworth to Mary Gray, both otp. This ties in with the ages of the children in 1841.

Excellent, thanks Bedfordshire Boy.
I had heard a rumour somewhere within the family that Robert married twice so that would be his second wife. It will be a definite help in sorting out which children have which mother. Unfortunately my line comes through the unknown first wife so I will keep on searching ...

Wow, you lot really are great
Other than the wonderful data provided above, I have nothing about George Braybrook's past prior to his first marriage in 1848 in Keyston (she died after 6 months). His second marriage seems to have been to a Catherine Braybrook (bc1822 in Keyston) who was probably a cousin but I haven't tracked her down yet either (not a priority, my line comes down through the third marriage).
I welcome any and all data!

I had wondered if it might have been a second marriage but he's not described as widower, nor is there another Robert married in Hunts after 1800. Folksworth and Morborne are only a couple of miles from the Northants county boundary so it's possible that he was married there.
I don't have access to post 1800 Folksworth burials, which would be worth checking out, but there are only two other Braybrooks buried in Hunts 1824-30 of child bearing age:
Sarah age 38 on 10 Oct 1824 at Hamerton which is 6 miles south of Folksworth
Ann age 37 on 10 May 1826 at Tilbrook, further south still.
Regards
David

Thanks for the information and the suggestion, David.
I will put a request on the Northants list as well and see if I can get anything from there. That is the problem of having a family from East Anglia, it covers so many counties!
