Hello List
Is anyone else researching BREEZE / BREESE in the Newtown area?
It seems that my g g grandfather John BREESE was born there in about 1825.
Courtesy of another researcher and my own deductions of later census (51) he
had siblings: -
Ann b ~ 1822, MGY
Williiam b ~ 1831 RAD
David b ~ 1833 RAD
Thomas b ~ ?? ???
Their mother was Ann and (from Ann's marriage entry) their father Samuel
BREEZE. There is an IGI entry that fits for my John which records his birth
as 11th December 1825, Newtown, Montgomery (which matches his 1861 census
entry).
The spelling varies from BREES, BREESE to BREEZE at various times.
I'd like to hear from anyone with any information or interest in this
family - and anyone who can explain the apparently intense concentration of
BREESE's in the Newtown area! Also, what are records like for this area
circa 1800?
Best Wishes
