Looking for anymore records relating to Bridget BRENKLEY who lived in Hardraw North Yorkshire in the early 1820s

Here is what I know

1. Bridget gave Birth to a son called Thomas BRENKLEY in 1827 in Hardraw, North Yorkshire and he was baptised on the 10th Feb 1827

2. Bridget's son Thomas married Mary Ann WOOF on the 21 Mar 1849 in Appleby, Westmorland, Bridget's name is down at the Grooms father as "Bridget Brenkley - Farmer"

I have no other records of her.

Please can anyone help me find anymore info on Bridget or any other Brenkley's that lived in Hardraw round about that time that could be a relation?

Thanks

I wonder if Bridget was named after a sister who had the same name but died a few years before she was born. There is this burial:-

First name(s) BRIDGET
Last name BRENKLEY
Birth year -
Death year 1806
Burial year 1806
Burial day 11
Burial month 5
Place HARDRAW
Church description ST MARY & ST JOHN
Church denomination ANGLICAN
County Yorkshire, Yorkshire (North Riding)
Country England
Record set National Burial Index for England & Wales

Kath. x

There are 23 Brenkley's on the 1841 census living at Aysgarth which isn't too far from Hardraw.

Kath. x

Could Nan be short for Nancy?

I think it is quite possible that Nan was short for Nancy. Nancy itself is often a pet name for Ann.

All the same person with wildly differing years of birth, but she was married to Thomas.



???

First name(s) Nancy
Last name Brenkley
Age 78
Birth year 1787
Burial year 1865
Burial date 11 Feb 1865
Burial place Hardraw
County Yorkshire (North Riding)


Can't find this one on the census unless it's the one above. Year of birth is way out again.

Nan could also be this lady.


First name(s) AGNES
Last name BRENKLEY
Birth year 1775
Death year 1833
Age 58
Burial year 1833
Burial day 15
Burial month 11
Place HARDRAW
Church description ST MARY & ST JOHN
Church denomination ANGLICAN


She resided in Ingleton Fells so perhaps not her.

This one could be a good bet.

First name(s) NANNY
Last name BRENKLEY
Birth year 1787
Death year 1865
Age 78
Burial year 1865
Burial day 11
Burial month 2
Place HARDRAW
Church description ST MARY & ST JOHN
Church denomination ANGLICAN


EDIT This is the same Nancy as above.

I wonder if this is the William shown in the 1841 census?

First name(s) William
Last name Brenkley
Baptism year 1821
Baptism date 29 Oct 1821
Baptism place Hardraw
Denomination Anglican
Father's first name(s) Thomas, ag lab of Sedbusk
Mother's first name(s) Jane
County Yorkshire (North Riding)
Country England



and possibly his mother's death not long after he was born?



First name(s) Jane
Last name Brenkley
Age 26
Birth year 1795
Burial year 1821
Burial date 08 Nov 1821
Burial place Hardraw
County Yorkshire (North Riding)

Marriage of parents?


First name(s) Thomas
Last name Brinkley
Birth year -
Marriage year 1817
Marriage date 20 Sep 1817
Marriage place Hardraw
Residence Hardraw
Spouse's first name(s) Jane
Spouse's last name Fothergill
Spouse's residence Hardraw

And his marriage to Nancy? So that rules her out as Bridget's mother.

First name(s) Thomas
Last name Brankley
Birth year -
Marriage year 1824
Marriage date 09 Mar 1824
Marriage place Coverham
Residence Horsehouse
Spouse's first name(s) Nancy
