Wow this is great, thank you so much for this information.   Camden do you have further information on their children please.       Jan

My side of the family is Lucy Brindley who was born at Worley, Staffordshire, her parents shown as William Brindley & Jane Baker.   She was later seen in Toomer Census living at Newbury and she married Daniel New and lived in Wash Road, Newbury in 1841 census.   Grandparents were Robert Brindley & Elizabeth Wheate.

Still trying to work out if Lucy has the correct Father now.   Was this a typographical error with records showing her Father as William.

Wendy,
I think we're starting to get the correct facts now and believe that James Brindley married Jane Baker.
Interesting information re your Great Aunt Mary marrying Arthur Lovelock.  Do you know what year she migrated to Australia?    I do have a son named Brian Lovelock, was not aware of a Graham.
  Would be good to get all of that information updated too please.

Hi Jan,
I am fairly new to family history research. My name was Wendy Brindley and I was born in Newbury. I have taken an Ancestry dna test and I am a match with Steve Miller (if that helps.) William Brindley, 1796 Cheslyn Hay or Burslem, Staffs is the first Brindley I have in Newbury. He married Charlotte Challis, a Newbury girl. I think his father was James Brindley and was born in Pelshall, Staffordshire 1771. However I cannot pin down his wife, its either Jane Baker or Sarah Higgs according to various ancestry members. It doesn't help that both women appear to have married 2 years apart The first child appears to have been born 1796 (William) so that doesn't help much as he is born after both marriage dates!

Jane Baker 12 Dec 1791  James Brindley Cheslyn Hay, Staffordshire
Sarah Higgs 16 July 1793 James Brindley 16 July Cheadle, Staffordshire.

On balance I think it is more likely to be Jane as Cheslyn Hay is only 4 miles away from Pelshall. However of course the Brindleys keep calling themselves the same name and it perfectly possible to have umpteen cousins all called James Brindley.  The question is do I have the right James Brindley?
I am aware of Brindley's going to Australia, for instance I remember my great Aunt Mary leaving when I was a small girl, she had married Arthur Lovelock but was widowed and she and their son,Graham emigrated to Australia. I believe Mary died within the last 10 years. I have also had some DNA links with other Brindleys who are in Austalia.



If I can be of help to you please let me know. My mother still lives in Newbury and I return often.

Best wishes,
Wendy
