John Brinsdon

John Brinsdon was born in Castle Combe, Wiltshire, ca 1790. He married Elizabeth Fry (or Frey) at Castle Combe, 25 June 1810. They are living next to Isaac Townsend and his wife (their daughter, Sarah b ca 1814) in the 1841 Census. John is listed as a 'traveller' which I assume means that he was a travelling saleman (and not a 'gypsy'. John died at Marlborough, Wiltshire in 1872. Other children of John and Elizabeth were: James (b Bath, Somerset, ca 1823), Charles (b Bath, Somerset, ca 1825), Benjamin (b 1826 West Bromich, Staffordshire, ca 1827).    St. Andrew's Parish Church, Castle Combe, Wiltshire                         Used by Permission: 'Badger of the Bank' IGI Marriage Reference: M16075-1                       Used by Permission: 'Badger of the Bank'   Brinsdon family members next door to Isaac Townsend family - in 1841 Census of Gloucestershire (Minchinhampton): John Brinsdon 50 occupation: traveller - "not from this county" Elizabeth 52 not from this county James 18 ditto Charles 16 ditto Benjamin 14 ditto 1841 England Census about Sarah Townsend Name: Sarah Townsend [Sarah Brinsdon] Age: 50 Estimated birth year: abt 1791 Civil parish: Minchinhampton Hundred: Longtree County/Island: Gloucestershire Country: England Registration district: Stroud Sub-registration district: Minchinhampton Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Sarah Townsend 50 Wm Townsend 8 John Townsend 5 Ellen Townsend 9 Mo 1851 England Census about William Townsend Age: 12 Estimated birth year: abt 1839 Relation: Servant Where born: Minchinhampton, Gloucestershire, England Civil parish: Stroud Town: Stroud County/Island: Gloucestershire Country: England Registration district: Stroud Sub-registration district: Stroud ED, institution, or vessel: 1j Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 44 Household Members: Name Age Enoch Hyde 27 Elizabeth Hyde 28 William Townsend 12 1861 England Census about Isaac Townsend Age: 56 Estimated birth year: abt 1805 Relation: Head Spouse's name: Sarah Where born: M Hampton, Gloucestershire, England Civil parish: Minchinhampton Ecclesiastical parish: Amberley County/Island: Gloucestershire Country: England Registration district: Stroud Sub-registration district: Minchinhampton ED, institution, or vessel: 4 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 102 Household Members: Name Age Isaac Townsend 56 Sarah Townsend 47 Ellen Townsend 19 Richard Townsend 16 Elizabeth Townsend 14 Francis Townsend 12 James Townsend 9 Catherine Townsend 2 ELLEN TOWNSEND Christening: 26 AUG 1832 Horsley, Gloucester, England Father: ISAAC TOWNSEND Mother: SARAH Batch No.: P018101 ---------- ISAAC TOWNSEND Spouse: SARAH BRINSDON Family Marriage: 19 OCT 1830 Minchinhampton, Gloucester, England Batch No.: M049001
