David Brine - naval family?
My 2xggf Isaac Brine b abt 1797 gives 3 different places of birth depending on the census: Spithead; on board a ship in Gibraltar; Long Island, America which sounds as if his was a naval family. I have found an Isaac Brine christened in Poole, Dorset in 1797, parents David Brine and Betty. I know that Betty was born in Letchet, Dorset but can't be sure who David's parents were (father Thomas?) I am wondering if there is any connection with Admiral James Brine.Can anyone shed any light on this one please?
