yep lots of us Braziers in wolverhampton ( saying that, im a Smith lol )..

My braziers start from my greatx3 gran Kate Brazier of Pountney street wolverhampton, daughter of Frederick Brazier and Lydia Smith many of them where also in Birmingham and London, Benjamin Brazier was a Birmingham gun lock maker (wolverhamptons oldest gun maker apparently)
ad its Benjamins son Joseph who was the famous www.josephbrazier.com one

not sure if anyone knows but there is a site for the wolverhampton arm of the Braziers (my line goes back to around 1680)

https://www.wolverhampton-gunlocks.fslife.co.uk/

thats the link for the wolverhampton side o the fam

Kate Brazier also had a brother Charles Brazier of Bradmore wolverhampton, im really keen to find out more of him for he was from the same village as i am (tho its grown a lot since lol )
 
I'd like to know more about the Braziers, too.
truebritmega :) your links look awesome but neither of them work for me now.
Anyone know if the info is still being hosted online anywhere?
Many thanks,
