Hi
I am seeking information on William Brown born Sept 1815, I do not know the place of birth. He married Fanny, maiden, name unknown (born April 1st 1813).  Children: George 03/11/1836, Jane 26/10/1838, Harriet 04/08/1841, Charles 29/07/1843, Mary 19/05/1948, Hannah 02/12/1850, Henry 01/06/1854.
There was a newspaper article regarding Williams death.
"An inquiry took place at the New Inn Bath Rd on the body of William Brown, farm labourer, aged 65 years. On Friday the deceased who lived at Chewton, Keynsham was driving a wagon drawn by 3 horses into Bristol when passing over the railway bridge near Bristol a train whistle scared the horses, William was thrown from the wagon when then passed over him, killing him. The verdict was accidental death". If you could help with his place of birth, place of the childrens birth. It would be greatly appreciated. I am travelling from Australia later this year and would like to find where he is buried and if there are any relatives still in the area.
Kind regards
Lynette
