There is an Ancestry tree which has his parents as Peter Brown (1766-1830) and Mary Ann Lawson. No corroborating evidence is shown however.

several trees on ancestry has him born on 19/2/1800 but no source given and they all look as if they have been copied from each other.

All have Peter dying in 1883 but one says in California the rest in Newton -le-Willows (Newton in Mackerfield)!

Liverpool (Cartwright, Chambers, Miller), Todmorden (Sutcliffe, Mallison), Abergavenny (Watkins, Prosser)
