Joseph Brindley - My 4th Great Grandfather (Brother of James the Engineer)
Hello Gordon
My name is Valda Curcuruto (nee Michell) and I reside in New South Wales, Australia.I think we are probably distantly related via our ancestor "Joseph Brindley" who was my 4th Great Grandfather.My Great Grandmother was Lydia Brindley who settled in New Zealand with her husband Henry King, thence she settled in Australia after Henry's death.Lydia's father was the slate merchant Rupert Brindley - born Alton, Staffordshire and resident of Bermondsey, London.
Rupert's father was Mathew whose father, in turn, was your predecessor "Joseph Brindley" (brother to James the Engineer).
Hope the former is of interest to you.
Regards and Best Wishes - Valda Curcuruto.
