Hi Everyone
An update on finding the right John.
Today in the post I received the two death certificates, one for John Brown aged 44 died 2/12/1850, occupation Accountant, certified by his wife Mary, so clearly not my Mariner John.
The other for John Henry aged ten and a half, son of a mariner, certified by John Brown, Father, Mariner. So this one is "mine".
I have not heard from Bristol Record Office as yet, they said it would be up to two weeks before they replied, then I could order the copies of the marriages I wanted. Does anyone do Look-ups in Bristol record office please? At that rate I could well be dead before we get anywhere!!
