Member Since: June 2003 Posts: 9,301 Send Message	Carrying on with Edward. Following niece, Mary Swan. 1841 England Census Name: Mary Swan Age: 4 Estimated birth year: abt 1837 Gender: Female Where born: Middlesex, England Civil parish: Ealing Hundred: Ossulstone (Kensington Division) County/Island: Middlesex Country: England Street Address: Royal Oak, Uxbridge Road Registration district: Brentford Sub-registration district: Brentford Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Thomas Swan 30 - Beer Shop Adelaid Swan 30 Mary Swan 4 Sarah Swan 2 Sarah Meads 18 All born in county. So it looks like Adelaide Swan may be the sister of Sarah. Guessing at this, because William Brown is born in Hampshire, and Sarah Brown is born in Ealing. Can't help further than that. It looks like Adelaide dies in 1846 and the family is split up. Deaths Jun 1846 Swan Adelaide Brentford 3 11 I can't find a marriage for William Brown and Sarah in Brentford. You'll need to get Edward's birth cert to find out mother's name. Ozi

	The Father's names will be on the marriage certificate (of Edward and Emma), so you need to buy that to help confirm identities.
