Trying to find descendants of:

Benjamin Lincoln BRAIN (1866-1940) & Maria Sidnie WILLIAMS (1878-1945).
Benjamin born in Kennington, Surrey; died Camberwell London. Accountant.
Maria born in Dolgellau, Wales; died Lambeth/Camberwell London. Nurse.

Married 1906, Fulham.
2 sons known:
1) Ellis Alfred Sullivan BRAIN, born 1920 Tonbridge Surrey.
Died 2000 Worthing, Sussex. Possibly without wife or issue.
2) Reeve Merion Brain (Brighton 1907- Norfolk 1985) who married Peggy Donovan in 1939, but I can't find any record of children up to 1955 (she would have been 45 by then). He had a stepson Charles John Lister Richardson living in NW1 at time of death in 1985.

Not interested in Brain ancestors. Maria was my great-grand-aunt.

Hi - yes that's him, but I'm only interested in his descendants, which means 1906 or later. Mike
