Notes |
After extensive research looking into a birthdate of the elusive Brindle,
we have found a date on the 'assumption' that Doug Lamming is correct with
Brindle being born in Darwen in 1861. The Brindle we have found is
the only one that matches that description. Therefore, the following
information is based on such findings, and still requires confirmation
from a contemporary source. There is no conclusive evidence
regarding his death date. |

Born |
8 January 1861
at 46 Lyon Street, Blackburn, Lancashire [registered as Thomas Brindale, in Blackburn, March 1861]. |

of John and Alice, living at 46 Lyon Street. His father is a Glazier. |
