Thats the one Willow

Marriage;
17 October 1837, Saint Marys, Portsea, Hampshire, England
James BRAGG to Susanna HYDE

[trish1120]

Just made it into Civil Reg which will have his Fathers name/occp

Marriage Reg Dec 1837 Portsea Island   7 224

He married Susannah Hyde in Portsea in Hampshire in 1837. She died in 1860 in Mitcham, South Australia
and he remarried to Jane Grainger shortly afterwards the same year. I guess he may have had children with his first wife but haven't found their arrival yet. He had 5 children with Jane between 1862 and 1880. Plenty of life in the old boy!

Thanks for your help,

annoyingly the marriage is not on FindMyPast

might not be the right couple in couple in Birmingham because they are in Portsmouth though James is down as not born in parish

So according to the Newpaper article on a Tree;

It has John Grainger was largely responsible for building the Church. His Daug married the Verger James Bragg.

So if he was born 1803 as Burial says and the Verger he was quite a boy!

So the one age age 23 in 1841 Census is too young.
