Denis edward Brinkhurst look up

[edward1977]

Hello AMBLY, Kate Brinkhurst is my Great Grandmother... Jamie was researching on behalf of my Sisters and I. ...Edward Henry Lane is our grandfather. I have his birth certificate that states he was born as RUSSELL BRINKHURST, March 6 1918, HAMILTON ONTARIO, with Maiden name of mother being KATE BRINKHURST, Father Unknown. There is indeed a lot of missing pieces we would like to try and fill in. I would wish to privately correspond with you if possible.. I could not find a way to personal message you on here...I can be reached at ^(*)

Thank you and hope to here from you

Teddy

I have done my own family's genealogy and decided to do my wife's.  Kate Brinkhurst is her grandmother, Albert Bryan being her grandfather.

1.  All of the children of Katherine Brinkhurst and Albert Bryan are now deceased.

2.  Ambly mentions that Albert(a), and Margarite are two people when in fact she is just one Alberta (first name), Margarite (second name). 

3. if you go to this link - http://archive.is/BGaPk (click on Ontario Monumental Inscriptions 18) and go half way down the page you will find the complete translation for Albert Bryan's headstone.

My wife would of been 6 when Katherine died and has little knowledge of her.  It was her understanding that Albert Bryan had hired her to look after the children and they ended up getting married.  Not sure if that is correct though.  They would of met in Hamilton, Ont. but it is not known why they ended up getting married in Brandon.   

There was never a mention, to her knowledge of a child being born and given up for adoption.  If there was a child born Albert might of been aware of it (maybe not) but it appears no information on this was passed on to the children.  Or if it was it didn't go any further.  She has no knowledge of Russell Brinkhurst / Edward Lane.

Now as for Roy Dennis Brinkhurst.  It was thought that Dennis was his Dad's last name and that when Katherine went back to her maiden name she just added it to Roy's name.  However, when I started this genealogy stuff I couldn't figure out why she went back to her maiden name if married to a Dennis.  Now after reading the comments about Dennis Edward Brinkhurst I'm starting to think he could be Roy's father.  No record of a marriage but those were funny times and with the same last name already maybe it was decided not to bother.

Then there is Norah Bryan mentioned.  Never heard of her and my wife was only aware of Albert being married three times.  It would be strange that the grandson would have the headstone done for Albert without getting all the information correct.  The cost of doing the stone would be pretty high, so you would think one would want it correct.  I think that the census is in error or a wrong name was given.  Could of been Amy but as mentioned they were not married till 1914.  Also could of been some hired help to look after the children at that time.

So when did Kate Brinkhurst and Albert Bryan meet is no known.  They could of known each other for a long time or met sometime after Amy's death 1918.   But we know that by 1920 they are married.

This is pretty long and I hope not too hard to understand.  Sorry Teddy we could not help you a little more.

I have one question is the George Brinkhurst that married Ann Gurrs the same one that is mentioned in the following link?

http://spartacus-educational.com/LPbrinkhurst.htm

It only refers to a Mrs. Brinkhurst and at the end mentions 8 girls and 3 boys with the majority being in Canada.

hello Rjginger and welcome to Rootschat!
I remember this thread in which Ambly noted that we are getting into dark corners where likely only family should be the ones to dig further.  We found what we found and altho we all love a good mystery... that is where we'll leave it.
We'd all be delighted to do the more ancestral searches, though, if there are any lookups needed, as that is what we are all here to do....such as the one chempat has done for you...

all the best, J.J.

Hi I am the granddaughter of Kate Bryan nee BRINKHURST and Albert Bryan . My mother is Alberta marguerite bryan GRANT.  Grannies parents were George and ann (gurrs) and born in Sussex county.  My mother said her mother was born in tunbridge wells, but my research says its little horsted, Sussex England in the town of isfield,  My research also says she was married in England to a George addicotts, and had 2 children named may belle and Sylvia but nobody in the family knew of this!  My mother always told me grannie was a BRINKHURST married to a distant cousin or something with same last name,but died and she was pregnant with Roy Dennis when she met Albert Bryan I think in Hamilton and then they moved to Brandon, Manitoba, where they raised his children from a previous marriage to Nora, and had 4 more Alberta, Jack, Merv and marg.
How or when my grandmother came to Canada is a mystery to me.  We were just at pier 21 a week ago and they can't find her but do find Albert and Nora and kids.  I too would like to confer with whoever is looking into this history.    Linda grant

Hi I am the granddaughter of Kate (BRINKHURST) Bryan. My grandfather is Albert Bryan.  Before she married Albert she was married to a ? Dennis Edward BRINKHURST, but he died when she was pregnant to Roy Dennis BRINKHURST.  Her maiden name was a BRINKHURST so not sure if she was married to a cousin or what.  Would love to know your relation to all this,  please contact me.   Linda grant

Hi Linda:   I'm Ron McMullin and I am married to your cousin Gail (Marjorie's daughter).  As mention in a previous post I kinda jumped over to Gail's side of the family and was doing searches on Kate Brinkhurst and Albert Bryan.  I have not done 3 posts on Roots Chat so can not send a private message yet.  Not sure how we can hook up.   Sorry I took so long in replying to your post.
