Yes i have to agree Rosie such a common name and Brown Blimey its a hard one.

After doing some research im starting to wonder could it actually be Mancetter, Warwickshire as it was known as Manchester too, in Warwickshire i can find a marriage of a George Brown to a Charlotte Ball.

I just dont know what to think anymore or where to go next.

His age checkout most of the time with what he states his age on his childrens certificates but some he doesnt age increase he stays the same, his death certificate states hes 65 but if u go by the age at marriage hes only 60 so i believe he was born between 1837 and 1842.

I have not been able to find a year of arrival.

Lancashire / William Henry Brown
« on: Saturday 12 March 16 06:46 GMT (UK)  »

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a birth/baptism for a William Henry Brown on his marriage certificate he says his parents are William Brown and Charlotte Ball and it says he was born in Manchester England, this is also the same on his children birth certificates.

I have looked and looked with no luck at all, im hoping someone can surprise me and see something im missing.

So he married 20 November 1875 in Hay, NSW, Australia and it says he was 33 and she was 24. His father William Brown was a Sailor.

Forever thankful for all your kind help.

Jennifer :)

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: James Dunn Birth
« on: Wednesday 09 December 15 22:30 GMT (UK)  »
Hi everyone,

The only thing i have that has he was born in London is his marriage certificate in Tasmania in 1897 where is states he was born in London and he was 43 at time of marriage.

Yes that is the family in the 1861 census.

Why would they be back and forwards to England when the Dunn line comes from Scotland they are the only ones that have been in England and im back to 1750's. 

Yes that is Sophia's birth in 1859 in tunbridge, i bought a certificate which i received yesterday for a James Dunn in Tunbridge sadly it was not the right one.

I have not been able to locate immigration for James as of yet there are so many James Dunn's coming to Australia argghhh.

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / James Dunn Birth
« on: Wednesday 09 December 15 09:40 GMT (UK)  »
 Hi Everyone

I am desperately seeking a look up for a James Dunn parents names Andrew Dunn and Catharine Reid.

His marriage certificate states he was 43 in 1897 when he married Agnes Elizabeth Davy in Tasmania Australia, and stated his birthplace as London.

From Census records i have found he and sister Sophia Dunn where both born in England where the other siblings were born in Scotland.  I am keen to buy the birth certificate but not having any luck pin pointing the right one.

Sophia was christened in Hadlow, Kent if that is any help.

Look froward to hearing from you all
TIA

I found a james Henderson in 1901 living as a boarder at 154 Cloudesley Road, Barnsbury, Islington.  the James in question was a carpenter though not a plumber but he was a widow and was aged 40.

So im not 100% convinced that it is him

Is this his marriage?

James Mather Henderson
birth year:   abt 1860 Age:   32
Spouse:   Elizabeth Mackengie    Age:   31
18 Apr 1892  St Stephen, Islington
Father Name:   William Henderson
Spouse Father:   George Mackengie


Yes Groom thats James's marriage to Elizabeth. Elizabeth died in 1899.
all i can really go on is the newspaper date of 30th March 1907, its under deaths not obituary.
Two of his children, were adopted in Upper Holloway to the Simpson family in 1901 Charles Phillip was already adopted and in the 1911 census his other brother William Gordon is also with the same family, the adopted mother was also a witness to James Hendersons marriage in 1892 to Elizabeth Malcom Mackenzie. William Gordon Henderson in 1901 was a patient at Garrow Home.

The dates are way out though - why wait 2 years before putting an obituary in the paper and his age doesn't agree. That one was 51 in 1905, Jennifer's James would have been 43.

I have to agree with you groom, i can accept the couple of years that are common with certificates, but 8 years......hmmm.  There is nothing that really stands out.

My other question is is it possible that when it says Chiswick Hospital that it was a convalescent home or a poor house/work house.
