  • Notes 
    • Ralph Brake was born in Yetminster, Dorset and was apprenticed to the fishing trade in Newfoundland by a Charity when he was 13 Years Old. He settled in the Bay of Islands, married and had eight sons and two daughters (proof in his will) . All Bay of Islands Brakes desend from Ralph.

      Contents of Ralph Brakes Will as sent from Diana Southern email - DianaMSouthern@aol.com

      Briefly, here are the contents of Ralph Brake's will dated 1838. It was
      proved at it's third attempt in 1866, previous years, 1844 and 1848, but by
      that time only one son, William Matthews Brake survived. Apparently Edward,
      the educated one, had intermeddled with his father's estate in England and I
      don't know what happened to the money. It is all down on the administration
      of 1866 in "black and white"

      In the will Ralph left:- son, John Matthews Brake - £40, son, Joseph
      Matthews Brake - £100, daughter Elizabeth Matthews Brake, wife of Thomas Park
      - £20, daughter Jane Matthews Brake, wife of William Wheeler - £20, son,
      Robert Matthews Brake - £100, remainder after payment of debts etc. to sons,
      Robert Matthews Brake, Ralph Matthews Brake, William Matthews Brake, Thomas
      Matthews Brake, and Edward Matthews Brake equally as long as these six
      remained in partnership with each other, but if any of the sons came out of
      the partnership before Ralph's death, then he was to be paid £100 in full
      discharge of his share. If any of the brothers in partnership should died
      before Ralph's death, then the business was to be diviided amongst the
      remaining brothers in that partnership.
      William Blanchard of the BOI and Joseph Bird from England were the executors.
