Member Since: June 2010 Posts: 25 Send Message	I know this is a long shot, but I'm trying to find a John Brown born in c 1818 in Addisham, Kent, UK. He married a Margaret, surname unknown and had at least six children - John, Emma, Charles, Mary, James and Sarah. I would like to know the names of his parents and/or siblings and the surname of his wife if possible

	The birth cert. of one of their children will give you mother's maiden name. This will confirm any possible marriages that may be found.
