Wondering if anyone connects to this branch of the
Brindley family?

John enlisted in the 2nd Regiment, Life Guards at Newcastle-under-Lyme in July 1815 age 23. He gave his occupation as a 'nailer'
He spent 25 years in the service and served 'with good conduct' in England. He left due to ill health. He spent most of his life in Kensington, Chelsea and Windso, Berks..
He married ( I do not know his first wife's name I would really like to have that information) and had at least 2 children: John Jr, b about 1822 and William, b about 1828.
