Brecht One Name Study
Progress Report 2005
For the Brecht name only, I added a list of the births, marriages and deaths, registered in England since 1837, to the web site:
List of Brecht Births, Marriages and Deaths
I also added a list of birth, marriage and death certificates held:
I summarised the information in the Census records obtained to date:

Where they were and what they did
On the two visits to the London Metropolitan Archives I proved that Heinrich Brecht and Henry Brecht were one and the same. Unfortuntaely the records of St Mary's Islington in 1808 (banns and marriage) did not give any further information, i.e. the couple's ages, addresses or parents' names.
A cousin found a very exciting entry:
John Christopher Brecht married Susannah Pardom on 25 May 1795 at St Mary's Whitechapel
But who are they?!
I added information about the roots of the Brechts and Brights in the USA, from Frank Logue, Coordinator of the Rootsweb message board:
