My great great great grandfather William BRUNNING was a mariner and sailmaker who lived at Flushing. He married Elizabeth PASCOE (born 1794) ca 1816 (An IGI family entered record claims he was William Grifiths Browning from Bruce, Ontario)

William appears to have died before 1841, with their youngest child born in late 1839. And had died before 1851.

If anyone has access to Flushing PR I would love it if you could find eitehr William's marriage or burial since I don't know his age. And that would be a great help in identifying where he might have come from - Brunning is an East Anglian name. There is a William Brunning baptised in Moreton Hampstead Devon in 1795 though.

If anyone has access to the church register.

Does it show any extra details for the marriages of

Edward MAUNDRELL to Emma COWARD 20/5/1850

or

James MAUNDRELL to Jane HAYTER 6/11/1825

Thanks

Accumulating data for a one name study of these names.

Most consistent occurences of these spellings (cf the CROFT variants) appear to have arisen in SE England (Bucks, Berks, Kent) or Norfolk.
With migration to other areas, notably Glamorgan and Dorset, ocurring in the the late 19th century

There appears to be a seperate line arising in Ireland with migration to Canada in the mid-19 Century.

The 1851 census for Burnham Bucks shows Thomas and William MORECRAFT, both from Hurley, born ca 1798 and 1800, who were in Burnham by June 1841

If anyone can check the Hurley PRs for their baptisms I'd appreciate details. I'm trying to establish a link to the MOORCRAFT family found in Bray/Warfield between 1717 and at least 1770.

Would someone please give me the details for
Alfred MOORCRAFT(born 1830)

Charles MOORCRAFT(born 1827) and wife Mary
