John Brinsdon was born in Castle Combe, Wiltshire, ca 1790. He married Elizabeth Fry (or Frey) at Castle Combe, 25 June 1810. They are living next to Isaac Townsend and his wife (their daughter, Sarah b ca 1814) in the 1841 Census. John is listed as a 'traveller' which I assume means that he was a travelling saleman (and not a 'gypsy'. John died at Marlborough, Wiltshire in 1872.

Other children of John and Elizabeth were: James (b Bath, Somerset, ca 1823), Charles (b Bath, Somerset, ca 1825), Benjamin (b 1826 West Bromich, Staffordshire, ca 1827).
