Other Family's Final Resting Places
The Family of The Brandon Children
Though, tragically, Charlotte and Gerard had many children that did not survive until adulthood, there were some that did. My research shows that the couple had, at least, twelve children; seven of these perished and five lived to adulthood and married - with a few having children of their own.
- James married and had three children:
(Gerard, Pauline, and Charlotte Brandon). - Charlotte married and had (at least) two children:
(Mary and Geraldine Peirce). - Ella married and had four children:
(Charlotte, Anna, Agnes, and David Stanton). - Charles married but - to my knowledge - had no children.
- Mary married but - to my knowledge - had no children.
These surviving siblings, their children, and their children's children are the continuing Brandon family line. As I find where these family members are laid to rest, I will record that information here.
This page will also record the ancestors of The Brandon Children - their grandparents and many great-grandparents. I still have not been able to find the parents, Charlotte Hoggatt Smith and Gerard Chittocque Brandon; they, too, once found, will be added here.
Individuals are listed by their relation to The Brandon Children, since they are the focus of this website.
Some of the links on this page will go to the Find A Grave website.
I wish to thank the Find A Grave admins and the wonderful FAG community, some of who have been invaluable in helping me find some of these graves. Thank you all.
And an especially heartfelt thanks to G.B.R., a Brandon descendant, who was kind enough to share the photographs of Gerard, Margaret, and Gerard's graves. At the family's request, I will not divulge the location of these graves. Thank you for contacting me; it means so much.
