In the 1861 census Elizabeth Brind has arrived back in the UK after the death of her husband Thomas Brind. We do not know why Elizabeth chose to come to the UK after Thomas' death as she was originaly from Ireland and as best as we know, she had no family in the UK. We can only suppose that she came to Hayes to be near to a relative of Thomas' and that they lived nearby. |

Note on Child 1: Henry Thomas BRIND
Henry Brind's full parentage is unknown. At the time of his birth, his mothers husband Thomas Brind who had been a Sergeant in the 14th Regiment of foot had been killled in Malta as the result of a charcoal fire in a small room. Thomas' daughter Catherine was christened not two weeks after his death in May 1854 and the family soo left Malta to return to the UK. Why the family chose the UK and not Ireland where Elizabeth his mother was born, is unclear, but the family found themselves in Uxbridge where the children and Elizabeth were in and out of hte workhouse until Henry got a job as a prison warder and later got married.
At the age of 12 Henry Thomas Brind was admitted ot the Uxbridge Worhouse as a "destitute child", he stayed for about 2 years before leaving again "at his own request". After this he went in and outa few times before he disappeared only to appear again when he married Eliza Mary Godliman and in 1890 as a prison warder at Wandsworth.
Henry died as a result of injuries sustained in an incident at Wandsworth Prison where he worked in 1908. As a direct result of this, his wife Eliza Mary Godliman placed her children in the Uxbridge Workhouse for a period until she took them back some months later.
Henry's children were placed in the Uxbridge workhouse for a period of three months until they were returned to their mother. Frederick Charles Brind was sent to live with his mothers sister, Emily Godliman and her partner William Heritage and police constable, and Harold Brind was sent to live with his Autn Kate Godliman and her husband.
