This is just an aside to your query.  I too am researching Brain/Braine in Gloucestershire & in my research have found that George was probably the most common name used by these families.

Researching any Brain/Braine/Braynes in this area is a nightmare, I sometimes think that without these families Bristol & many of the outlying districts would have been devoid of most of their populace.  There were thousands of them!!! ;D
Fleming (Bristol) Fowler/Brain (Battersea/Bristol)    Simpson (Fulham/Clapham)  Harrison (W.London, Fulham, Clapham)  Earl & Butler  (Dublin,New Ross: Ireland)  Humphrey (All over mainly London) Hill (Reigate, Bletchingly, Redhill: Surrey)
Sell (Herts/Essex/W. London)

Sorry cannot help with George Braine's ancestors but I hope you might be able to help me with info about descendants. My wife had a relative Maria Lewis who went to live in Jamaica with her uncle John Fry sometime between 1810 and 1820. Subsequently she married William Hanley Braine in Jamaica in 1820and had 3 children. Apparently she died as a widow in Montego Bay in 1831 but I have no info about William's death or  subsequent info about the children after Maria's death. Anything you can supply would be much appreciated

Hi Chris,

Have you looked at Family Search pilot site as I know there were some entries for William Henley/Hanley Braine and family when I was helping the original poster of this thread a while ago with George Braine and family.

I went into the Jamaica Carribean section but there may be others.  It will be a good place to start anyway.

Regards,
Elizabeth

Hi chrisx1

Thanks for your helpful info - much appreciated.

My wife has a family letter written in 1858 by Mary Susannah Hylton (nee Fry) confirming that her cousin Maria Braine had 3 children. LDS records show the 2 children that you have mentioned (George & Wilhelmina) and a third child Mary Price Braine who was christened on 2/11/1822 at St James, Cornwall, Jamaica.

Mary Hylton was born in Jamaica (where she had 3 previous husbands) but in 1858 was living in Camden, New Jersey USA with her 4th husband John Stannard Hylton and family.

Thanks again
