about 1795 (Age 29 years)
Note: According to his marriage record in 1824 to Rebecca Clarke, William was from Lowick Northamptonshire (near Islip). Subsequent census records always indicated he was from Northampstonshire and his last census said he was from Caistor North Hamps. (I believe it was Castor.) In the 1861 census William's (probable) brother John Brains also stated he was from Castor. No record of William's birth has been found yet.

Birth

1766 according to Thomas' Death Certificate but the 1841 census indicates he was born about 1771.

Marriage

This marriage record is possibly the record of Thomas and Elizabeth Braines' (of Keystone) marriage in England. It is the only record in the Northamptonshire and Huntingdonshire databases that matches names, place and era of Thomas and Elizabeth. The Draper family was well established in Bythorn just to the north of Keystone where Thomas and Elizabeth lived most of their married life. In a subsequent baptism record for their son John, Thomas and Elizabeth were recorded as being paupers.

Census

1841 Census for Thomas Braines Age 70 Civil Parish: Keyston Hundred: Leightonstone County/Island: Huntingdonshire Registration district: Thrapston Sub-registration district: Raunds Thomas Braines 70 Mary Braines 35 Thomas Braines 31 Jane Braines 5

Death

GRO Record: Thomas Braines, age 84, Shepherd, died Keyston, witnessed by Sophia Rawson, Reg District Thrapston, Subdistrict Raunds, Huntingdonshire. Burial record in Keystone Parish stated: Thomas Braines, age 84, Abode Keystone, Buried Jun 28, 1850. SOG HU/R 38

Note

Thomas probably had a sister Ann Braines, spinster, who married Miles Glover, bachelor of Old Weston on May 18, 1802 in Keyston Hunts. Thomas Braines was witness.

Ann must have died by 1808 since Miles married again to Elizabeth Harbor in Winwick.

Miles Glover Marriage: 17 Oct 1808 Winwick, Huntingdon, England Spouse: Elisabeth Harbor

Note

The Thomas Braines family was listed in Keyston Hunts for the 1841 England census. The entry shows that Elizabeth had probably died before then, Mary was still a spinster and Thomas Jr was still alive. In addition, Jane age 5 was part of the family.

Thomas Braines 70 Shepherd Born in Hunts Mary 35 Hunts Thomas 31 Shepherd Hunts Jane 5 Hunts

Note

It is likely that Thomas and Elizabeth were married in Islip in 1793 and had their first child John there. They then moved to Keystone Huntingdonshire where they lived out their lives. Because they were shepherds it is possible they were away from their home in Keystone for extended periods.
