Hi Robert,
Whilst I first believed in 2001 that Brydon was on my grandmother's side, I was later corrected by my father and my uncle, both now in their mid to late 70's.
The Brydon connection was actually via a Janet Brydon who married a great grandfather by the name of Wilson. I think Walter Wilson? An then emigrated to Victoria Australia around 1850 ish.
Janet was in those days a pet name for Jane, so the notes we have going back to 1860 or so via my family in regional Victoria - Australia. Note that Janet (a great grandmother)may have been the sister of William Brydon. The only thing that doesn't stack up currently is the date of death for Jane Mary (1821-1839) that you have mentioned... Maybe we are all looking for the direct connection and it more than likely goes back another generation or two?
