Meliot Brandybuck perhaps? Dancer of the Springle Ring [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img].

or maybe, Master of Buckland, who at the time of the war of the Ring was Gorbadoc Brandybuck... I think.

No. It is a Baggins, a Burrows, a Bracegirdle, a Brandybuck, a Bunce, a Boffin, or a Bolger. Now isn't that helpful? [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Was not at the long awaited party, and is more than twenty years younger than Frodo.

Ok, I think I've narrowed it down to either:
Moto, Myrtle or Minto Burrows, each of them born at least twenty years after Frodo and not specifically mentioned at the party.

Can you tell us at least which book you can find it in? I have searched all through the family trees at the back of ROTK, and found nothing. Oh, and Eruanna, they were at the party though. Or, at least, that's what it shows on my family tree. That is what is confusing.

Ah-ha....it's Minto Burrows. he was not at the party (thanks for that Eruwen....I'd forgotten about the party guests names being underlined....Minto's isn't...at least not in my very ancient copy of FotR) [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Erunna is correct, the individual I was thinking of was Minto Burrows.

Finwe's got it! Andwise ‘Andy’ Roper is Sam’s rope-making uncle.

Yes! Very Good.

Vardamir Nólimon, Númenor’s uncrowned King: The son of Elros Tar-Minyatur, accounted the second King of Númenor. When the time came for him to inherit the Kingship, he chose not to accept it, and immediately abdicated in favour of his son, Tar-Amandil.

Your go!
