Hi

Think I may have them in the 1901 census living in Chevington

Mary A Brown 73 Head b Hawburn
Thomas Brown 23 G'son b Broomhill coal miner
Isabella Brown 19 Dau in L b Broomhill

Isabella and Elizabeth were often used interchangeably, particularly in Scotland. I have encountered it as well in my own family in Northumberland and Durham.

I have never experienced interchanging of Isabella and Elizabeth in Northumberland. May need to be a little careful that these are not two different people.

 :-\  That's a new one to me.

I have many Northumberland and Durham Isabellas and Elizabeths in my family tree and I've never ever come across an example of the name being used interchangeably  :-\

All I can say is that the census entry that I found should not be dismissed. See the Whats in a name site for the interchangeability of Elizabeth and Isabella.

I did not mean that your census suggestion should be dismissed, just that it should be carefully reviewed to see if they were too different people.

Quite agree! Any source should be looked at critically.

I have to say I had noticed that 1901 census. There were 2 Thomas Browns born around the same time and in the same area. One was to Margaret Brown born 1877 in Chevington who was single and the other was born in Amble christened 6th July 1880 to Francis and Margaret Brown. It seems like the 2 Thomas`s are cousins as Francis is the first Margarets brother. Looking at the 1861 census Francis and Margarets mother was called Mary Ann Brown so its all a bit confusing. It was the name Isabel that put me off.

Sorry I ment to ask about that. Going off the marriage certificate and the absence of a father named
would that mean Margaret Brown single would be his mother?
