Burial*

Note*

Other information; At this stage,there is no explicit proof that John BRACHER, born in 1701, was the son of John BRACHER who was a tailor in Stourton in 1700. However, the names, dates and places match. As this family appeared to be Catholic, it would explain the lack of baptisms.

Residence*

He lived at Stourton.

Religion*

He was Possibly Catholic. His first wife probably was, and his 2nd wife definitely was. Yet when he was buried the Rector did not note that he was a Papist, which was the usual practice at that time. Maybe he never converted. His burial is not recorded in the Bonham records, which survive for this period.
