Bramley Apples History
1809
The first Bramley tree grew from pips planted by a young girl, Mary Ann Brailsford, within her garden in Southwell, Nottinghamshire, England.
1846
A local butcher, Matthew Bramley, bought the cottage and garden.
1856
It be while Matthew Bramley lived in the cottage that a local nurseryman, Henry Merryweather, asked if he could pilfer cuttings from the tree and start to sell the apple. Bramley agreed, but insisted the apple should tolerate his name – hence 'Bramley’s Seedling'.

Gratuitious Wikipedia attach:
"The Bramley apple was raise by Mary Ann Brailsford of Southwell, Nottinghamshire, UK. It is believed the first tree was planted between 1809 and 1813, subsequently included in the purchase of the house by Matthew Bramley within 1846. "
I assume the trees were after owned by a dude named Bramley. There you jump.
The first Bramley Apples were in actuality grown in Southwell, Nottinghamshire. A woman call Mary-Ann Brailsford planted the original trees, and Matthew Bramley bought the estate (including the apple trees) 30-some years following.
