Brindley, James {brin'li} English engineer (1716-1772). With Thomas Telford, John McAdam, and John Metcalfe, Brindley was one of the first generation of engineers who brought about improvements in methods of transport, so essential to the industrial society emerging during the 18th century. Born in Derbyshire, he was apprenticed to a millwright and so brought into contact with the technological problems of the times. Though he had little education, he overcame this handicap by his ability to put across his schemes in drawings and sketches.

He set up in business on his own in 1742, draining mines and improving the pumps operated by steam engines.

In 1759 he was asked by the Duke of Bridgewater to direct the construction of a canal from Worsley to Manchester. Brindley revised the projected route and stopped water seeping away by using puddled clay for the canal bed. The brilliant success of this canal, which established his reputation, inaugurated the canal-building mania of the late 18th century.

Even if financial resources were somewhat over committed, a means had been found to transport the raw materials and manufactured goods of the Industrial Revolution cheaply and safely long before there was any means of carrying bulk commodities by rail and much longer still before it was possible by road.

Brindley went on to build about 300 miles of canal, including the Grand Trunk Canal, linking Manchester with the Potteries, Derby, and Birmingham.
See Eminent Engineers, for the story of James Brindley.

The following is from a Dicitionary of English Surnames by P H Reanney and R M Wilson.
Brend, Brent, Brind Gilbert Brende 1273 RH (St); Adam Brend, John Brent 1327 SRWo; Hugo le Brent 1279 RH (O); Geoffrey le Brende 1327 SRSf. Brend, Brent and Brind are ME forms of the past participle of OE beornan 'to burn'. 'The burnt', a nickname for a criminal who had been branded. cf.
Henry Brendcheke 1279 AssNb, Cutte Brendhers 1279 RH (C). cf. BRENNAN. (ii) Symon del Brend 1318 FrY. Here brend is used topographically of 'burnt land', hence, 'dweller by the burnt land' as at Brind (ERYorks), Brende 1188 P.v. also BRENT.

The Oxford English Dictionary, Volume I A-B, Oxford at the Clarendon Press, 1933, has the following entries:

Brinded (bri-nded), a. arch. Forms; 5 brende, 5-8 brended, 7 breended, 6- brinded. [Primary form app. brended, whence on one side BRANDED, q. v., on the other brinded. Brende, which occurs in Lydgate, is identical with one of the contemporary forms of burnt, burned (see BURN v.) ; nevertheless, taken with the fuller brended, it points to a secondary vb. brend-en, a possible derivative of brand 'burning, brand'.. The sense appears to be ‘marked as by burning’ or 'branding’ . Prof. Skeat compares [cel. brindottr brindled, f. brand fire-brand.] Of a tawny or brownish colour, marked with bars or streaks of a different hue; also gen. streaked, spotted; brindled.

BERNAU INDEX.
This index is available on numerous microfilms but it must be said that many of these are poor in quality and some cards cannot be read with certainty.
The films were searched for Brind and variants (as detailed) for entries to 1610. I also noted later entries if the detail on the card suggested a link with the area around South Marston. The entries are listed under each variant in the order in which they have been filmed: as you will see there is no logical sequence!
