Missing Body!!!

[AngieB]

Hello again from a lost one! I am looking for the death of Alexander Brown born 1838 in Ochiltree Ayrshire. I have him on the 1881 census, his marriage and the birth of his son David in 1886 then nothing. Please can anyone help?

Hi Angie

This looks a possibility for Alexander and family in 1891, not sure what his wife's name but the only entry coming up that connects with the Alexander in 1881 in Ochiltree:

Maggie Brown    34, b. Ochiltree
David Brown    4, b. Ochiltree
Thos Brown    2, b. Fenwick, Ayrshire

And in 1901:

Alexander Brown 59, agr. lab., b. Ochiltree
Margaret Brown    43, b. Ochiltree
David Brown    14, b. Ochiltree
Alexar K W Brown 9, b. Straiton, Ayrshire
Martha W Brown    6, b. Straiton, Ayrshire
Mary K Brown    1, b. Straiton, Ayrshire
Jane Gibson    20, servant - housekeeper, b. , b. Barrhill, Ayrshire

Thanks everyone I have found Alexander's death in Coylton and a further set of Brown's in Staiton. Also Alexander was the son of David Brown and Mary Kennedy , whose parents were Alexander and Martha from Kirkoswald. Thanks again I am sure I will be trouble again veru soon!!!

Mary Kennedy had more siblings than that, they can be seen on the Kirkoswald OPR or discovered on IGI by taking Martha's surname out as the spelling varied quite a bit. I have 6 children to this marriage.
