Hi. Just new here.
I'm from Belgium, doing research on my English ancestors.
Just wanted to share.
My 5th great grandfather was Thomas Smart (°1741 Tamworth Staff.) who married in 1759 to Susan Brandrick (°1740 Abbots Bromley Staff.).
Susan's father was Walter (Gualteri) Brandrick (°1708 Abbots Bromley) and married an Isabel/Elisabeth.
Walter Brandrick's father was Samuel Brandrick (°1679 Wirksworth, Derbysh, +1728 Abbots Bromley). He married around 1700 to an Elizabeth (°1680 Abbots Bromley).
I couldn't trace them further back in time yet without proof.
But here I have some questions:
- Why would Samuel Brandrick in 1679 move from Wirksworth Derbyshire to Abbots Bromley in Staffordshire, some 30 miles away?
- Has somebody done any research on Walter Brandrick who married an Isabel / Elisabeth ? Could she have been the same person? Is there a surname known?
All other information on this branch is welcome.
Thank you in advance. Gerda
