Carey Bracewell's Ancestry

Contributed by Carey H. Bracewell


ORIGIN=

My surname, Bracewell, originated in the village by that name in the
West Riding of medieval Yorkshire. The village was enumerated in the
Doomsday Book of 1086 A.D.

While a certain 'John de Bracewell' was recorded in neighboring
Lincolnshire as early as 1273, no Lincoln parish records have survived
to show any connection between this John and Edmund Bracewell, my oldest
known direct paternal ancestor, who was born in England about 1510 and
died in Grantham Parish, Lincoln, on 27 Mar 1560.

Owing to a particular Y chromosome 'mutation' present in myLincolnshire Bracewells but not found in our Yorkshire cousins, it is clear that my Grantham Bracewells had separated from their Lincoln cousins long before the beginning of modern history (1453 AD).
