Hi,
I'm trying to track down anyone who knows more about Christina Brown. She had several children with my great great grandfather before she died and he subsequently had my great grandfather with another woman. I cannot find her birth certificate, and I cannot find a marriage certificate between her and my gg grandfather. There is a location and date listed on the birth certificates of their children (although it's a different date on each of the three children). I also haven't been able to find a birth certificate for their eldest child. Below is what I know:
Father: Robert Brown, joiner (Abt 1838 - ?), son of Robert Brown and Margaret Brown (m.s. Dixon)
Mother: Christina Sinclair, (Abt 1841 - ?), daughter of David Sinclair and Margaret Sinclair (m.s. Turner (?))
Parents married 24th Sept 1858, Aberlady
She supposedly married Sydney Hoskin April 1888 or September 1884 or October 1886 in St Saviour Church, Dartmouth but I have checked the records and couldn't find anything.
Sydney and Christina had four children:
Sydney Hoskin (1889 - ?) - can't find any record of his birth
Christina Sinclair-Bailey Hoskin (1890-1914)
Robert William Hoskin (1893-1966)
Harriet Maggie Hoskin (1894-1895)
It seems that Christina died shortly after giving birth to Harriet after experiencing complications.
Does anyone have any more information?
Thanks!
