Hi Betty welcome to the boards this is an old thread and carole did not return to this thread

from google

Brandis Corner is a village in Devon, England. Brandis comes from the Saxon name to 'burn'. This village has burnt to the ground many times.

i visited Brandis Corner some years back and nobody could tell me how Brandis Corner got its name! Do you know?

I am curious because my maiden name was Brandis and relatives came from England

Thanks

Betty

Carole,
Are you looking for living relatives, or just any information at all?
When did the Lewis family live at Brandis Corner, and have you any names for them?
Have you looked to see if anyone has common ancestors in their trees on here?

In the 1911 census there are 4 households with an address of Brandis Corner, none of them are the Lewis family.

A google search gives you the Brandis Corner Wildlife Group with a Lewis as secretary.
