Will take a look to see if I can find a possible marriage for a John Brown to a Sarah
From the 1871 census RG10; Piece: 574; Folio: 28; Page: 50
There's a widowed William RICHARDS occ Lab. & his 3 children Joseph, Henry & Susannah
are living with Clement 60 & Mary JOHNSON 71
Is this the correct family?
It it is slightly confused as 1871c says William Richards is son-in-law ???
Eliza Susannah Brown was born 1833 & Mary Ann Brown & John Brown born much earlier
This appears to be Mary's first marriage
1 May 1833 St Leonard St Mary, Bromley
Mary Ann BROWNE to William HAINES
Borough: Tower Hamlets
And her second marriage
6 Dec 1846 St Dunstan and All Saints, Stepney

Mary Ann HAINES f/a widow father John BROWN occ Mariner
Witnessed by John BROWN (x) & Elisa BROWN

Clement 47, Mary 57 (1804) Poplar & Mary JOHNSON 20

Will see if I can find anything else and get back to you

Hi - I am researching this family and have a tree on Ancestry. I am descended from John Brown & Susannah's daughter Elizabeth Brown who married Joseph James Richards - their son was William Richards who married his cousin Eliza Susanna Brown (as if it wasn't complicated enough!)
I think that Eliza Susanna Brown was the daughter of John Brown's son John Brown and a short-lived marriage to Sarah (nee Spencer) who died before 1841. He could possibly have been a mariner like his father, but later became a blacksmith. He is shown as unmarried on the 1851 census, but he could have been a widower. This may account for him and his (possible) daughter Eliza Susanna living with his mother Susannah and sister Mary Ann in 1841 and subsequently Mary Ann and her second husband Clement Johnson. - however, this is only a theory!!
It does not help matters that there seems to have been 2 'John Brown & Susannah' couples living in close proximity - with baptisms at Stepney and Poplar - all that distinguishes them are the occupations of mariner and labourer - but the entries are inconsistent.
Happy to share info with anyone interested in the Richards & Brown families.
Kind regards and Season's Greetings!
