Compeller's Notes:
Marriages: There are several references to a first wife, named Mary Baker. This is very doubtful unless they were divorced, as her gravestone gives a death date of 19 May 1875. There appears to be two John Brindles. There is a John Brindle, born 31 December 1793, who married a Mary. He died 1 December 1871.
