I think WW has a member who is a 'Brindle', A number of photos have been posted by him.
The name 'Brindle' would have got attached to the Serfs and Villeins of the Brindle estates. A peculiarity of the Feudal System, is that they were deemed to belong to the land (estate). It is known that they were transferred along with the land when it was sold.
So Gerrards, after acquiring the Brindle estates, would have had Brindles as part of their bonded (unfree) populace.
