Herbert BROWN 1914-1994 : desperate for parents names
any idea on how to find this without birth / death certs
grandfather (didn't speak of his past)

regards steve

There were about 35 Herbert Browns born in England and Wales in 1914. Probably you need some certificates for proof. Have you exact birth date to narrow search?
Thanks

If he died in 1994 then it is likely that his actual birth date will be indicated on his death registration assuming that whoever registered his death knew it.

Where did he die?

Was this him?

Name: Herbert Brown
Birth Date: 4 May 1914
Death Registration Month/Year: May 1994
Age at death (estimated): 80
Registration district: Sheffield
Inferred County: Yorkshire
Register number: D49A
District and Subdistrict: 0481D
Entry number: 211

tryin to get info for his exact date of birth

died in sheffield definate 1994

patchem / jonesey i WILL return many thanks

steve

JONESEY
THAT IS HIM .......................
just got the info the same time you sent that through !!!
can i ask where you found it and can you find his parents names ????

again thank you

steve

he was born beverley in hull

That narrows the field down considerably. If born 14th of May his birth should have been registered in the Apr/May/Jun quarter. There were only 2 Herbert Brown birth registrations during that quarter:

Name: Herbert Brown
Year of Registration: 1914
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun
Mother's Maiden Name: Hall
District: Derby
County: Derbyshire
Volume: 7b
Page: 1279

Name: Herbert Brown
Year of Registration: 1914
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun
Mother's Maiden Name: Brown
District: Corwen
County: Denbighshire, Merionethshire
Volume: 11b
Page: 620

Gut feeling tells me that the former is the most likely.

This information is being found at Ancestry.

jonesey looks good !! :)

would her name have been lillian allison brown before marrage and him being joseph n brown ??????

tell me if im being thick

AGAIN - where do you all get this info ????

thank you

steve

Her name would have been Lilian Allison before her marriage. Unfortunately there were about 9 Joseph Brown's of roughly appropriate age living in the Hull area in 1911.

The only sure way to discover exactly who Herbert's parents were will be to obtain a copy of his birth certificate. You can purchase a copy from www.gro.gov.uk for £9.25

The way that you see the marriage registration displayed is:

The persons surname (Allison). forename (Lilian), Their marriage partners surname (Brown).

jonesy - a million thanks you have done in less than an hour what iv'e been trying to do for days (HA HA)

But i still need to know, how you found this info out !!!

unless it is a well guarded secret - ha ha

regards steve

No secret. The information has come from 3 sites:

www.freebmd.org.uk A free site and very easy to use.

www.ancestry.co.uk Subsciption needed

Have fun

again thank you
steve

I 'feel' there is a very good chance it will be this Joseph??

Of course, you will only find out when you have the details from Herbert's birth cert!

Steven,

As there is more info on here than on your other thread which you started yesterday (naughtly... slap hands!!!), could you please delete your other thread to save people looking up the same info twice.

Thanks,

Dea x

other thread deleted

sorry dea

steve

Thank you Steven,

If you have several threads on the same people we all get a little frustrated when we spend ages looking for something and then find it has already been found by someone else and posted on the other thread so we have wasted our time.

Stick to this one and we will do our best to help you find what you need.

Do you know if Herbert's parents split up or did they stay together, as I have found a death for Joseph but it is Hampshire? - Also, you say that his mother was known as Mrs Allison, which gives the impression that she had 'assumed' her maiden name?

Do you have Herbert's marriage cert, which would give his father's name and occupation ?

Would Lilian have died in 1975?

What other info do you have, no matter how insignificant it appears?

i think i now have lillians parents (arthur william and rebbecca ann) woop !!

but cant find anything on joseph n (norman i believe) brown - only one in sunderland !!!! but does not seem to tie in for some reason

getting a bit frustrated

steve

add on herbert had middle name (we think) of walters we dont know if this is a middle name or the name of 'some other' male attached to llilian ???

If it is Joseph Norman, then I had found this birth which is close by?

Births Sep 1886
Brown Joseph Norman Keighley 9a 207

Dea x

dea

this is a possibility, keighley in bradford area ???

i know herbert was born in beverly , hull
and joseph and lillian married in SCULCOTES which is also hull .

would you have access to 1891 /1901 census this may say when he moved from keighley (if he ever did)
