I think you are right with Brunskill as have found more evidence of that name once I searched as Brunskill (this family were in Kirkland - same vicinity) Thank you   ;D I've never heard of that name before.

When I was knee-high to a grasshopper (very young ;D ) my brother used to make deliveries for Mrs. Brunskill who ran a greengrocers shop. That was a big clue.
