Hi,

I came across your enquiry while filling in some blank spaces in my family tree.

My great-grandfather's sister, Jane was married to Thomas Brindle, son of George and Sarah Ann (nee Smith). This was a second marriage for both of them, as Thomas had previously married an Amelia, and been living in Rhode Island since about 1885.

Jane Chew was first married to John Sharples, who died sometime soon after their marriage in 1898, and she then married Thomas Brindle in 1934 in the Bolton Registration District of Lancashire. They left for Rhode Island 22 Sept 1934 on the "Georgic".

Thomas Brindle died 16 Nov 1950 in Warwick, Kent, Rhode Island and Jane (or Jean as she was known to the family) returned to England in 1952.

Let me know if you need any help with the Smith side of the family, as I do have more information on them.

Kind regards,
Sally
