Jon,
Bathsheba’s maiden name was given in our family record as Syer not Syred. I note though that Syer was not an unusual name, nor was Syred. It would be good to get this corrected if appropriate. This Thomas was one of four children of Charles Brady and Christian, nee Thurstan. Thomas & Bathsheba married at Aldeburgh and begat five children, including Charles born 1738, who was the grandfather of Thomas who married Alice Ripper.
The Snape Brady adds a new dimension, particularly as I believe Snape is considered to be part of Aldeburgh.
Bathsheba was thought by one of my ancestors to behalf sister of the mother of the Poet Crabbe, though no independent evidence of this has yet been turned up.
