Can you help me?
« on: Sunday 22 October 06 09:05 BST (UK) »
I wonder if anyone can help me to find more information on this person:
GEORGE BARON BROWN    Male

Saint Peter, Leeds, Yorkshire, England.

Parents.
Father:   William Brown
Mother    Sarah

Source Information:
Bath number:       Dates          Source Call No      Type   Printout Call No.          Type.

"BARON" was the middle name of my father in law Arthur Baron Brown and I have not come across this middle name before.  Could this be a relative?  Any help appreciated, thanks. Maureen

FreeBMD besides your father-in-law's birth entry can come up with 3 other instances of the Baron and Brown combination. From places and dates they don't look to be connected.

Births Mar 1840
Brown  John Baron    Newark  15 542   

Marriages Mar 1868
Brown  Elizabeth Baron     Hull  9d 258   

Births Sep 1909
BROWN  Frank Baron     Bury  8c 550

Brown is a very common surname and it is likely some people with that surname married some people with the surname Baron a long the way, and some of these families used the Baron surname as a middle name.

From The National Burial Index

11th August 1832   
George Baron BROWN   
inf   
St Peter Gildersome,  Yorks W/R

Almost impossible to say whether he was a relative to your father-in-law unless you have done some research on your father-in-laws' parents and grandparents.

William and Sarah Brown may also have used the surname Watson as a middle name. Thomas might be a potential sibling for George. He appears to have survived and later married in Leeds.

THOMAS WATSON BROWN   
Christening:  05 OCT 1834   Saint Peter, Leeds, Yorkshire
Father:  WILLIAM BROWN 
Mother:  SARAH

Thanks for your quick response Valda.  I guess I was clutching at straws when I first saw the Baron middle name, but now I see it is not going to be easy.  I have posted long details under the Glamorgan section re this Brown family.  Thanks also for the death details. There was a previous George Baron born before the one I listed, and it looks as though both of them died early.  Thanks again for your help. I really do appreciate receiving a reply to my query.  Maureen
