I haven't found any cause of death in newspapers. A death cert will of course provide that info now you know the dates. I have found the following deaths of Archibald (Archibald has become a blacksmith, like his father who was born c 1819 in Dumfrieshire) and Kate's children. it makes for sad reading I'm afraid
6 Dec 1875, aged 17 months, Laura, dau of A Brown, Borough Place Church St
30 Jul 1877, David Arthur, infant son
28 July 1878, William Archibald Brown
20 Jan 1881, George Edward, 3 months
Doesn't seem like they had much luck

Once again many thanks to all you helpful people who assisted and gave me advice. I now have lots of information on this family which I can put together for future generations. Sadly poor Thomas and Dolly seemed to have had a tough life losing 7 of their own children and at least 4 grandchildren from one daughter Kate. Don't know how lucky we are these days!.. i'm going to try and find out if any of his sons died at sea as they were fishermen who perished at ages 17yrs and 27yrs. Its small wonder that Thomas went off the rails dealing with all the losses in his family.
