trying to find info on a Percival James Brown and a Florence Pinchin born in late 1880-1890's. I have found 5 of her children but there were a lot more. Winnie, Hilda, Norman and more. I am not sure of the other names so I could not find them.There is up to 11 children but when I was a kid I'm sure my dad said up to 14. He was the baby, born in 1932. The eldest is Wilfred born 1914 all in Westbury South, Vol 6a. If anyone is able to help it would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou Debbie

Hi Susan, yes I think we are on the right track, but you have missed one brother that I know of. Francis H, 1917 , jul 6a 372. It is great you have found my aunt Winnie, I didn't know her first name and was unable to find her in the birth records.
Are you able to go forward to any of my living relatives. From my dads brothers and sisters. I did not know there was a third sister, do you know if she died young or could you find out about Edith. I don't think there was a Derrick or Thomas either. Maybe they were cousins. Are you able to find out what the initals for Robert stand for or not.
Sorry, new to this. Am I asking too many questions?
Thanks Debbie

Sorry forgot Edith was aunty Winnie for a moment,I just remembered, there was a set of twins, but I can't remember which one was a twin. I know it wasn't Victor, Hector, Hilda, Edith, or William.
I hope this can help
thankyou very much for your help

Hi Debbie

Sorry but I live in OZ and I just had to go to bed,I will look for some more for you today.

I cannot find a birth for Francis H 6a 372 ,where did you get that ref from as it is not coming up on Ancestry or Free BMD.

If the twin died at birth I don't think it is shown as a birth reg.

Hi Susan, I found Francis on births on genesreunited, Jul,Aug,Sep 1917. It is my uncle Frank, but I didn't know his name was Francis. I met most of my dads family when I was 14 but have not seen or heard from them since. I'm much older now, My dad has since died and I have no connection with any of them. I didn't mean that a twin might have died, it is just that I believe there are still 2 missing, out of the 11. I'm in Australia, don't mean to sound dumb but is OZ Australia or somewhere else ? sorry don't mean to give you things to do, but it was a thrill to have someone help me...thanks again

Did any of the twins survive?

If they didn't take a breath when they were born there won't be a birth registration for them.

Hi Rose, I was led to believe they had grown up, but my dad may have had his facts wrong. I found his fathers death registration in April 1943 and as the story goes his mother died within 6 months of him, but I can't find her death reg. 3 years either side of 1943. Dad was the youngest and put in an orphanage as a baby as his mum was put in an assylum, or so they say! So he probably didn't remember that much of the family.

Hi Rose, Thanks for Florences death details but I don't think the Browns from Banbury are my grandparents as my grandmothers name was Florence Pinchin.

I was responding to the births that Susan listed on the first page. Derrick and Thomas aren't your family.
