I have been to Brilliant recently, and I know that at least High St. and
Market St. are there. My grandparents lived on Market (Paddy and Dora
FLEMING), and my gr-gr uncle on High (Charles SIVARD). There are still
Gilchrists and Bucys in town. I'm related to Thomas Cromwell BUCY (b.
1816). I will ask my cousin who still lives there about other names and
streets.
