Biography

Brian was born in 1926 in Endon, Staffordshire [1] [2] where his father was the local vicar.

He was in the Fleet Air Arm during World War II and trained to be a navy pilot. He was still training in Texas when the war ended. [3]

After the war he completed his education and then spent some time in India helping train the Indian Air Force from around 1949-1952. [4][5] He was there when his father died in 1950 so he was unable to attend the funeral.

He met his future wife Diana Dickens through their mutual friends Dicky and Anne Burmby.

Brian and Diana were married in 1956 in Loughborough, Leicestershire [6] . The following year they moved to the USA [7] where Brian had got a job as a lecturer in Radio Engineering at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo [8] . On the way out there they stayed with Brian's cousin Maisie in New York.

Brian and Diana's two sons were born in San Luis Obispo. The family returned to England in 1961.

In England they lived in Welwyn Garden City for 12 years and then Crawley, Sussex for 6 years before living in Bury St. Edmunds, Diss, and then Tideswell. [9]

After Diana died in 2004 Brian remarried to their old friend Anne Burmby in 2007.

He passed away in 2011 [10] in Tideswell in the Peak District where he had lived for over 25 years. [11]

Thank you for adding a DNA confirmation statement to this profile. It correctly indicates that the DNA match mentioned confirms Brian's relationship to his father. His relationship to his mother is also marked "confirmed with DNA", but there is no statement supporting that relationship. Please change the maternal relationship to "confident" or add a DNA confirmation statement for a match that does confirm his relationship to his mother.

Thanks for adding the Maternal confirmation statement to this profile, and letting me know!

Also, I think you should be able to add that statement (modified to read "Paternal and maternal relationships are confirmed by ....) to the profile of Emmeline May Brain-387, and mark her relationship to both of her parents 'confirmed with DNA'.

Have I also sent you the link to the DNA Confirmation Citation Maker: https://apps.wikitree.com/apps/clarke11007/DNAconf.php
