The earliest family member that we know is connected with my part of the
Bramhill family is John Bramhill of Epworth. He was born around 1700 although we
do not have the exact date. We do know that he married Elizabeth, maiden name is
unknown, prior to Jan of 1721 because their first son was born then.
As you read through the names of each generation you will see that
certain names are very common to our family - Thomas, John, Richard, George,
Elizabeth, Sarah, Ann, and William. The family has very consistently carried
these names through each generation. In one family they actually gave birth to
three boys that they named George until one lived to carry on the name.
Review the following list of the Descendants of John and Elizabeth
Bramhill. If you can provide us with additional information or find errors we
need to correct, we would appreciate your help very much.
If you are not of the lineage of George and Ann Bramhill, who immigrated
to Canada, you may be able to determine your own link with this family. If you
do discover the link please let us know.

Matthew Bramhill was born September 21, 1796 in Epworth, Lincolnshire,
England. He married Elizabeth Butterfield and they had six children. Matthew
died in 1886.

Ann

John
Jan. 3, 1845
Married Eliza Oliver
(Grandfather of Annie Bramhill Cundall)
Richard
Richard was a druggist
I can tell
you a few anecdotes of old Mathew Bramhill my great grandfather. He was a
farmer, some sons were also farmers, one was a potato buyer, one a druggist, and
one daughter, who lived in Perth Scotland, was quite well off. She used to visit
Epworth and my dad (Walter Bramhill), when a small boy, used to be amused when
she would take her teeth out. I should think in the 1870s that it would be new.
In the
1860s Matthew and a few more people decided to raise money and build a Primitive
Methodist Chapel. He was a keen Methodist. I have the card he was given to
commemorate the laying of the foundation stone. I also have the mallet. The
Chapel is now a supermarket. Matthew was at the opening and I was at the
closing. I’m a Methodist, so is my daughter, Margaret and her daughter is also
– she is a local preacher. We had hopes of her being a minister. She has a
degree in theology. She got wed and has two lovely children.
Back to
Matthew – when the Chapel was built his next step was a Cemetery. It opened
around 1881. His sons buried him in the cemetery and never paid for his grave. I
didn’t know this until recently when I asked where he was buried and was given
a plan of where his grave was and a memo saying his grave was not paid for.
About me, I
married in 1933 and had Margaret (now age 65), Charles (age 61), Stanley (age
58) and my husband was killed in the war on January 7th, 1943. I remarried in
1945 to Ben Cundall and had one daughter Nancy.
