Hi, my name is Kelly Britt and it looks like we might be related.  My G.G. 
grandmother was Annie Britt and she married John Britt who died and then 
married his brother...the family were from Ireland and farmed in Gloucester. 
My father has most of the information and Im trying to get more for him.

Hi there....My grandfather was John Stanley Britt, his brother was William Britt 
who died in the WWI. I thought you might be interested in knowing that there is 
a cemetery on Bank Street, Protestant, right beside the Jewish cemetery just past 
Albion Rd...not sure of the name. It is very very small and no longer in use but 
there is our family plot of 'BRITT'. My ancestors are buried there, my great 
grandmother was Annie Stanley and she was married to two Britt brothers...one died 
and then she married his older brother. I know my father has much more information on 
our family and hope to get copies of it all. My grandfather, John Stanley Britt  
and his wife, Mildred Britt (nee Ferguson) are all buried in Notre Dame Cemetery on 
Montreal road. My grandfather changed religions from protestant to catholic to marry 
my grandmother. My Scottish grandmother was catholic and my Irish grandfather was 
protestant.

Good afternoon, Ms. Britt:

Thanks for your e-mail regarding your Britt and Stanley ancestors.

If you go to the search engine at the bottom of this page you will likely find other 
researchers who are also researching their Britt ancestors. Then try the 
name Stanley in the search engine (although this may show a lot of persons with 
the first name of Stanley).

I haven't looked into these families for a while, but, off the top of my 
head, I think that they were likely from the South Gloucester area. Before 
1850 there were Britt and Stanley farms in that area, so they would likely 
have known each other.
