My wife's side of the family is connected with the Brickwoods - in William b.St.Germans abt 1828 and in 1841 at St.Germans, was with siblings Ann 15 Christopher 15 and John 10. They were with the Spencer family and another, Thomas 6 was with Elizabeth Brickwood 65. This has the appearance of some family disaster. I am interested in their parents, of whom I have found no clue. There were other Brickwoods at St.G at the time, Isaac & Jane with 7 month old son, Richard, a shoemaker & Catherine with 3 children but cannot make a connection though one is likely.
There is the other family group at St.Minver who have St.G. connections and similar Christian names but again I cannot make any positive connection
William married and moved to Brighton in Sussex to become a Coastguard. He and his wife became Licensed Victuallers and were at several different public houses in the area. What I have can be seen on my North Family Tree on Ancestry.co.uk and is publicly available. I shall be very interested if you can assist me further back with this family.
