    The first record I can find for the Brindley Family is the marriage of Benjamin Brindley (1) to Charlotte Spencer, daughter of George and Ann Spencer of Mickleover. They were married at St Werburgh’s Church on 1st May 1804.

    There are records for the christenings of their children at the same church.
