Nicholas/Elizabeth BROWN

[markthespark]

Hi,

I am looking for any info re a Nicholas and Elizabeth BROWN. They had a son, Job, bp 26 Sep 1814 Potton, Beds.

They 'may' have had other children, an Elizabeth and a Sarah (1820), but I cannot confirm this.

Kind regards,

Mark.

Thanks Pels,

Unfortunately it doesn't say Mark - the 1841 census only tells you whether they are born in the county, or not.

Nothing re the maiden name of Elizabeth?

I have an Elizabeth Shearman b1776 Potton and an Elizabeth Armond b1773 Potton.

Nothing re the maiden name of Elizabeth?

I have an Elizabeth Shearman b1776 Potton and an Elizabeth Armond b1773 Potton.

I can see Elizabeth Armond as an 88 year old widow in 1861.

Elizabeth Shearman is also a widow aged 85 years on the same census.
