The Brazier Family - Horse Racing and Breeding

[genealogistsykes]

Dear all,

I hope you are well.

I should be grateful for any information pertaining to the Brazier Family of Loughton, Essex, who were involved in horse racing and breeding from the c.1930s.

I am particularly interested in Ivor Brazier (1912 - 85), son of George Thomas Brazier and Mary Ann Brazier, neé Buss.

Best wishes,

Just tried the link...….problems but I guess it will return.

If you subscribe to Ancestry the link to the Probate Calendar is there; you still have to order a copy through the gov.uk link  to see the actual contents though.
