I have more info on the WELSH/PRUSSIAN/GERMAN henry brickell
his daughter Ann married my Great Great Great Grandfather. I'm stuck re: the German link, on 1841 Census he & his wife Elizabeth are in Cardiff and listed as Foreign, in 1851 they are in Rhiw, Pontypridd and listed as German (british subjects) then in 1861 they are listed as Prussian. My mum has a vague idea that they could have been children of a soldier in the Napoleonic War as wives followed the battles and many british children were born in Germany, Holland etc Can't proove it yet though
If you want any more info, please email me
Thanks
