Hi
what connection are you to this branch of Brakefield/Brackfield.
I have the family tree of this branch from Arthur born about 1663 to present day.
Email me if you require any info.

Just found Stephen Willett. He was living at 'Lady Oak' Goudhurst age 45 born 1796. AG; labourer. I know this date does not fit with the one you give (1791)but that is not unusual!---Stephen has NO witten in the 'whether born in this county column.--Elizabeth Willett age 45.born 1796 George Willett age 9-born 1832, Elizabeth Willett age 7--1834--John Willett age 5--1836.  Hope this works for you,Mumsi

Charles Willett was living at Gate House Goudhurst in 1841.
Charles was 15 years old --his occupation is not clear, looks like A L--could be Agricultural  labourer . Charles was working for--what looks like Humphrey Wickham age 30 Farmer, Elizabeth Wickham age 25 . Also living there is an Elizabeth Burgess age 20. Mary Hiles age 15 and Elizabeth Ushwood age 15.
Elizabeth Brackfield is part of my family. Hope this helps. Mumsi

Hi Vall.
No, Sorry I can't help with the other names.
Most of the Brakefield's come from around the Goudhurst area in Kent. The earliest I have found is in 1620.
Around the early part of the 1800 they moved a little further afield. Louisa's family did come from Goudhurst and went to  Southwark in the late 1700. There are Brakefield's in America from a descendant of my line and I email two of their ascendances. We have three convicts sent to Australia one was murdered out there but I have found no children from these guys.
Good luck with your research. Regards J.

Hi, Vall.
I would say she is defiantly the right person. I do have her Baptism & marriage entry as well.  My maiden name was Brakefield and as the name is not a common one I have nearly all the Brakefield's or, Brackfield--another way of spelling it, I have a marriage certificate with the groom's name splat one way and his father the other way. I have this branch of the family back to 1645 ish. I would prefer to email direct , reasons would be explained. Not sure if we can exchange emails on this site.
I would be intrested to know the connections though.
What else would you like to know? I have loads of people and it would take an age to post it all here.
Regards J.

I have Louisa Brakefield baptized 21st April 1841 at St Mary Church in Horton Kirby. Stone is in the Dartford Parish (Kent) as is Horton Kirby. I have re-check the Stone baptisms and there is no Louisa there.
Louisa was the daughter of William Brakefield (born 1811) and Sarah Petman, born 1813-1844--she died in Stone. Louisa married Mark Barns 29th October 1863 in Gravesend Kent. If you need more on this family I am happy to help.
