ArchivesRe: Origin and meaning of unusual name...
in reply to a message by Llewella
I would have to agree with Llewella. Its most likely just a mispelling of Bryony. A lot of people back then were not literate and spelled names the way they heard them.

And further support of this is that her name was spelled Brinnie but pronounced like briny, which doesn't make sense in English.
