No it did not - that would have helped if it had. Had another look this morning in 1861 census and found a Amey Brown. widow 42, with Thomas, William A Brown and Edwin living Hackney but cannot find her before do not have 1851 census, or after . One of his daughters was Amelia and I wondered if this could be a connection wrong birth place but you never know. Regards Irene

IRENE>>>>>>>>>> Did it mention Daniels occupation,on his sons death cert

Brown family - yes it is the right family. Most of the children's ages are right as I follow them through the census. William head 29years old 1881.1891 is 39.and 49 in 1901 age given as 62 when he died and his wife was informant. That is all I have. Irene

JOY>>>>>>>>>> Ireland Scotland Neverneverland !

IRENE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The family in 1881-which is 5 pages later than the page supplied by ancestry!!!.......are you sure that is them-is it the combination of the childrens names that tell you youhave the right family. With William Brown being a very popular name,bit concerned that his age at death(62 in 1910) and age of 29 in 1881 dont tally.

Hello Alter Ego. This has had me stumped for a long time. WILLIAM AUGUSTUS JOHN BROWN. I have his marriage certificate 03.02.1874 to Elizabeth Ann Griffin. I have birth certificate of son William born 23.05.1874 Daughter Elizabeth born before marriage? Cannot find details Have family 1881 census Northumberland Rd. Poplar. 1891 Census Oakfield Rd East Ham 1901 Census Milton Avenue East Ham I have his death certificate 25.10.1910 Poplar. East London On certificates full title used each time. Question is where was he born. Only clue is on marriage cetificate he states his father is Daniel and deceased. Where is he in 1861/1871 census? If you can help I will be in your debt for ever and ever. Irene

Think I might have found him but cant prove it.

Alter If you can help with this one I'll be your eternal slave! I do have ancestry myself and the 1881 discs, but am getting nowhere with my one and only English ancestor. Any little expertise I have developed is around the Scottish stuff. HENRY TAYLOR, a pedlar First appears in Scotland on the 1891, purporting to be the husband of my 2 x great grandmother Helen, and the father of her youngest son William, my great grandad (I'm fairly sure he's not!) He claims he's 44, so c.1846/7, and born in Portsmouth. In Nov 1894, he and Helen, who is also a pedlar, get around to marrying legally, in Aberdeen. He claims he's 48, so 1846 looks good. He reckons his parents to be George Taylor, a labourer, deceased, and Margaret ms Hicks, deceased. In Nov 1900 poor old Henry dies. His son (??) William has him as 54, so age is consistent, but has his parents as Thomas Taylor, labourer, deceased and Agnes ms Drew!!! As he's missed the 1901 census (most inconsiderate of him) I have no further confirmation of his birthplace. I can find NOTHING of him before he materialises in Scotland in 1891. Anywhere. Scotland or England. Being a pedlar he could be in Timbuctoo! If he really is William's dad he was in Scotland in 1878, but in 1881 Helen and William were still with Helen's previous beau, although William was reg as illegitimate under one of Helen's various surnames - don't ask! If you can find him you are a genealogy master! Regards Ellen.

Thanks Alter thats her, Mary Ann Crabb is her aunt and yes I have the marriage certificate between her and William W Major. Many thanks Louise

DEA>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Probably?..............too many. Anything concrete ?

DEA>>>>>>>>>>>> how old,whreabouts

LOUISE>>>>>>>>>>>> Theres only one match and shes in a pub ! or with a publican anyway. Ann Welsford 8 Cotford Road Sidbury. Cant work out who she s with the names look like Mary A. Crabb,two with this name.However the search doesnt recognise the name. Heres a marriage for you-might be her. Exeter 26th april 1855 to a william watkins major.

Dea>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Who?

Thank Alter I have a little query. I have an Anne Welsford, born 1832, according to census in Colebrook, or Crediton. On her marriage certificate she is of full age and the daughter of James Welsford, a carpenter by trade.So I'm preety confident thats her family on the census. If this is all correct she would be about nine in 1841, but shes not home! Can you have a look for her for me please? Thanks Louise

LOUISE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> All together as family,grandma there too. james 30 carpenter. esther 30 james 7 ellen 5 sarah 1 Mary 56 Ind All at park Street (BIC) Crediton ,Devon

Janet H>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I beg to differ................... There is no person called Catherine Durkin ,of that age,born in Staffs on 1871 census. Conclusion= she married before 1871. Therefore look for marriages between 1861 and 1871 with a Catherine Durkin. Result =4 possibles (all double entered ) Action =checked all 8 possible surnames declared ,in 1871 censi with new surname and with staffs birth place -only one match. Conclusion := Catherine Durkin married Thomas TAYLOR Oldham june 1867 8d 1034. 123, stafford street in 1871. Thomas Taylor m 23 Engineer at colliery born lane head staffs. catherine taylor m 20 born walsall staffs. they were both born in staffs but married in oldham-clue to location of other family. Source= St Peters ,walsall. RG10/2963 Vessel - 22 Folio -100 Pg -41
