I have a John Brown & dec 1878 married to Agnes Smith 1917 Leith Lancashire
I've got them in in 1939 census with their children with 3 blocked out but one is b 1921 wondering if any of the other sites have a more upto date copy I'm on ancestry
I've looked at GRO but their are a lot of Browns with mothers maiden name Smith

What address are they at in 1939. I can look on Findmypast.

The blocked out child born 1921 would only have the record opened if someone has asked for it to be opened and provided proof of death.

All that Work ErikaH did for me and It turns out it was the wrong family
SORRY
My John Brown was born 5 Dec 1878 Ancoats Manchester and in 1911 he was with his wife Mary at 33 Fisher st I've got a 1939 Register 33 Fisher St John Brown 24 Jan 1879 ? almost , wife Mary 28 Nov 1879 and Elizabeth Brown 9 Jun 1856 single but going into it it says Married
so it would appear I'm back to square one

I've got John Brown 1855 married Jane Ann Woodhouse 1856-1929 married 1876 Ancoats Manchester had 11 children of which john was one of them

If any one can get 1921 census for 33 Fisher St WITHOUT PAYING that would be great as it seems as though they lived in the same house for years

Thank you

Thank you It does look as though I've done it all wrong So you can't always go off the dates of birth I've got born % Dec Baptised !9 Jan St Andrews Ancoats Manchester but it fits with 1911 census,
The other 1939 that I had his birth was 7 Dec 1878 it's a bit of a puzzle

No I haven't got any cerificates I'm going off the ensus you have put father John Brown mother Jane ann Woodhouse That is where I join this family
My Great Grandmother is Martha Woodhouse Jane's younger sister so with it not being a direct ancester as such I've just gone off the internet .
The problem is not being able to get the marriage unless I buy it? Their are that many John Brown's . I was going off him being a fitter that he was in 1901 but the date of birth is wrong ?? the other 1939 with Agnes his age is 2 days out?

I think I'll have to wait and possibly get the marriage of both of them

Thank you for looking and helping
You never know Erika what you did might be right!
