Hi Kerry,
I've only just seen your post about James Brinkley.
My daughter in law is a Brinkley and I'm researching her family and also have James in my tree.
I have a baptism for James in April 1879 in Whinchmore Hill, Middlesex. Father's name Valentine Brinkley, a wireworker maker, Mother Rhoda Brinkley. I know somewhere in my notes I have Rhoda as Rhoda Smith, she married Christopher Smith at some point.
I'm only guessing and will try to find out but I'm wondering if James did die in 1907 in Edmonton Middx as my Brinkley's were in the Herts Middx areas. There was a James Brinkley who died in Greenwich in 1915, wondering which is 'ours'. Did you find out anymore information after these posts in April?
