Immigration

6 Jan 1949

Edna Gertrude Bramley and Ronald Herbert Bandy immigrated on 6 Jan 1949 to Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, RSA; Andy Clayton writes: The whole family emigrated to South Africa in 1949. They sailed on the Pretoria Castle on 6 Jan 1949 headed for Durban. Shirley married Justin Kelly whilst in South Africa but unfortunately I do not know when. My late mother's diaries unfortunately have not revealed this info and South African records are not as accessible as ours! I do know that Justin died about ten years ago but as far as I am aware Shirley is still living in the Durban area.
Brenda has had a much more varied life. She came back to the UK and married Michael Frohlich (a New Zealander) on 16 March 1963 in Clay Hill, Enfield. I remember going to their wedding. Brenda and Michael divorced and Brenda then married Ray Maslyn, I believe in South Africa but I'm not sure. They in turn divorced and Brenda then married Brian Hardy, with whom she is still living, currently in South Africa again. Although Brenda seems to have spent most of her adult life going back and forth from the UK to South Africa living in both countries for a few years at a time! I still get Xmas cards from her. Neither Shirly nor Brenda had any children as far as I know. Brenda certainly did not.⁴

Marriage*

16 Feb 1781

On Friday, 16 Feb 1781 Richard Brann married Mary Cover, daughter of Richard Cover and Ann Christmas, in St John The Baptist, Wittersham, KEN, ENG,The younger Richard Brann married Mary Cover, daughter of Richard Cover and Ann Christmas of Northiam, Sussex. The marriage took place on 16 February 1781 at St John the Baptist, Wittersham, starting the hundred-year association between the Brann family and Wittersham. In the register, Richard is recorded as being resident in the parish of [High] Halden at the time of his marriage. Neither he nor Mary was able to sign their name.
Richard and Mary had eight children between the years of 1780 and 1799, when Mary died. Although their first son, Richard Cover (1780), was born in Wittersham, their next three children, William and Mary (1783), and Thomas (1784), were born in Lydd on Romney Marsh. It was not until William (1787), John (1789), Curteis (1792), and David (1795) were born that the Branns settled for good in Wittersham.
Richard Brann died some years after his wife Mary, on 21 February 1831 in Wittersham, aged 78.
Richard Cover, their first son, was born before their marriage and was consequently listed as "base born" in the parish register; he raised a small family on Romney Marsh. The first William died in childhood; the second William raised his own small family in Rolvenden. Thomas raised a large family in Wittersham and lived to the ripe old age of 93. John moved across Kent to the village of Great Chart; his only daughter Mary emigrated to Australia on the barque Roxburgh Castle in 1839. David was a cordwainer (shoemaker) in Back Street, Wittersham, whose only son died in infancy.
The large number of Branns who lived in Wittersham throughout the nineteenth century descended primarily from the large families of two sons of Richard Brann: Thomas, who had 15 children, and Curteis, who raised a family of 10.

However it is likely there is some link between the two in the Wittersham's close community.

The first being another Richard and the last child being born six years before his death.
