Would someone help me by find out more details on a past relative please?
II am looking for a Thomas R. or B. Brunton born c.1833 in Ysceifiog near Holywell in Flintshire. He may have a brother named Joseph but I can not be sure.

His Mother was Ciciley Ann Brunton and may be a widow in 1851. (she died in 1888)

I have had no luck with the 1841 and was about to give up until I thought of looking further ahead.

Thanks in advance. Nala.

Cheers Nala.

Joseph was born Sep Q 1839 so this looks like it could be right.


Very good Dea. Thank you once again. Nala. :-D

If that is indeed the father's death above, then this could well relate?


Carlisle Journal 27 April 1839: - Deaths...

On Sunday week, near Holywell in Flintshire, aged 43,
Mr. Robert Brunton, trainer to Sir R. W. Bulkeley, Baronet,
and many years the successful trainer to the late JohnClifton Esq.,
much regretted.

EDIT - He died on the 14th April at the racing stables near Holywell.
