George Brown b.c1822 - but where?! 1841/1851
« on: Saturday 01 January 05 15:41 GMT (UK) »
I've recently been on the durhamrecordsonline site and found out a lot of information about my branches that come from that area.  Thing is, I've got as far back as I can and have now hit a brick wall...

George Brown was born c.1822 but I don't know where!  He went on to marry Eleanor who was born c1819 in Yorkshire, but she died before the 1871 census.  They had
Charlotte Brown b.c1850 Yarm, Yorks
Charles Brown b.c1857 Guisborough, Yorks
Emily Brown b.c1858 Bishop Auckland, Co Durham
Nathaniel Brown b.c1861 Bishop Auckland, Co. Durham

I've got George Brown on the 1871 census (RG10/4985 pg 38) living in Hetton-le-Hole and it states he was born in Northamptonshire, Easton. (Got quite excited at this point as it's not too far from me!)  But, and there's always a but, on the 1861 census they were living in Monk Hesleden, Castle Eden Colliery and he was listed as being born in Stamford, Lincolnshire.

So right now I'm a bit confused.  The two elder children I know of were born in Yorkshire, as was his wife so does that point to there?  And where on earth do Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire come into it?!

Hope someone can help!

Regards, Emma Wink
