This is great information however I would like to question this fact –
3. William 1751 Elmdon m. Rachel WOOD. – I believe William BRAND (B: 1751 Elmdon – son of William Brand & Mary HOLLIDAY (various spellings)) married Rachel HUNT 4 Nov 1788 Duxford St John, Cambridgeshire. They are my 5th Great-grandparents.
I would be keen to discuss this further with anyone concerned.
Ooh – interesting Leanne. OK Brand researchers – what do you think? 🙂
Here’s how I relate to William BRAND (b. 1751 Elmdon, Essex) & Rachel HUNT (b. 1762 Duxford, Cambridgeshire) . Marriage Banns 8 Jul 1788 Duxford St Peter, Cambridgeshire – Willm Brand of Elmdon Essex & Rachel Hunt otp. Married 4 Nov 1788 Duxford St John, Cambridgeshire.
Son, James BRAND (b. 1791 Elmdon, Essex; d. 1869 Little Shelford, Cam. buried Sawston, Cam.) married 1811 Sawston, Cam. to Ann SMITH (1790-1874).
Son, James BRAND (b. 1817 Sawston, Cam.; d.1893 Little Shelford, Cam.) married 1840 Little Shelford, Cam. to Susan JENNINGS (1820-1896).
Son, Richard “William” BRAND (b. 1857 Little Shelford, Cam.; d. 1933 “Shelford” Huxley, Childers, Qld, Australia) emigrated to Sydney NSW, Australia on ship “Alexander Duthie” arriving 26 Apr 1876 (with his brother Elliot BRAND. They were employed to bring a number of Stud Stallion horses to “Barolin Station” near Bundaberg, Queensland.)
“William” BRAND married 1887 Abingdon, Isis Scrub, Wide Bay, Qld. to Isabella COCKING (1867-1948). He became a farmer and named his property “Shelford” after his birthplace. He was also in partnership (that lasted their lifetime) “Gant & Brand” with Robert Gant and together they farmed other areas (sugar cane, horses and beef cattle, as well as interests in building local shops and the newspaper).
My mother’s maiden name is BRAND and Richard William BRAND (1857-1933) is her great-grandfather, making him my 2nd great-grandfather, who we are very proud of.
While most of my BRAND English line comes are connected to Cambridgeshire, I do believe it goes back to William BRAND (b. 1717 Elmdon, Essex; d.1792 Elmdon) married 1747 Elmdon to Mary HOLLIDAY (various spellings).
