Its to do with yourkshire slang,
eg, Doncaster Known as Donny
Wadworth Known as Waddy

Brinsworth could have been known as Briney in years gone by

I have the wet census for 1851 which states William Brierley as father in law but has relationship or surname as suspect on it.

As it is not available on line I cannot have a look at the original census to see for myself..It also says his birth place as Briney Yorkshire..I have never heard of this..can anyone help please...thanks..W
