BROWN John b abt 1811 Drayton Buckinghamshire
« on: Thursday 27 October 16 17:49 BST (UK) »
John Brown married Harriet Hodgskin, b. 1828 Goudhurst Kent (can't trace).
They certainly had a son named Thomas Hodgskin Brown b. 1852 Bayfordbury, Hertfordshire  but an earlier son named John is listed on the 1861 census of Greenwich. He was said to be born in Ireland.
I have a further four children but lose track of them too.

I have not been able to trace a marriage - did it take place in Ireland?

In fact I am really struggling with John Brown and Harriet Hodgskin! I have Harriet on 1861 and 1871 census records but only John on 1861 census as a contractor.

PLEASE can anyone help at all.
