i am getting so confused over all these Brimacombe threads and Deb beats me to the look ups all the time too 

it would be easier (for me) if you put all the detailson the one thread of who you have got and what you are looking for.

Hi all 

I am having a problem finding Mary Bessie Frain/e prior to 1901 ...

I think she's the Mary Friend here:
1881
http://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=uki1881&indiv=try&h=3600089
RG11/2263 7 7

A quick look through BMD shows that the family were called Frain

Hi Tati

Thanks for finding her .... I had seen the Friend family and had checked original which was clearly 'Friend' ... I should have taken it a step further , like you ... Brilliant!

Have you figured out the Walter/ Hancock surname situation ? Did Charlotte just drop the Hancock or do you think it's a mistransciption.?
