Dunbar - Brown

[Beckey]

Any information please on the following.

James Brown & Mary Ann (nee Dunn), married 1833 Swinton & Simprin, Berwick., James Iron Moulder/Gen.Lab.

Daughter Mary Ann born about 1833 - 1842 at Dunbar, according to various census, marriage shows her 32 (1841), death at 82 (1837), 1901 68 (1833), so there is a variation in birth dates.

Next child about 1838 Coldingham ? and the rest at Coldingham.
Have been unable to find a birth for Mary Ann nor a 1841 census for the family .
They were not in Coldingham 1841 and James was dead before 1851.

Anything at all in Dunbar?

Hi Beckey,

Do you have a birthplace for either James or Mary Ann? It would help to track them down in 1841.

I have Browns in Dunbar but unfortunately not the same family.

Just realised you wouldn't have a birthplace for James, given he was dead by 1851.

Hi Hume24,
Thanks for replying.

Possible that James born 1813 Minto, not verified.
Mary Ann bap. 1812 Coldingham, widow on the 1851 census and there was Adam shown as age 13 Coldingham & Mary 10 shown Coldingham.

Adam not found 1861 so have doubts as to where born and Mary shown Dunbar on all other census, though of varying ages.

Hi again Beckey,

I think I have found your family in 1841. Ancestry have the name transcribed as Brown, but FreeCen have decided on Burns.

Mary, f, 25, -, outside county
Robert, m, 6, -, East Lothian

Hello Becky,

I have just started to research the Brown family and just yesterday downloaded the 1841 Census info mentioned by hume24 above.

I can trace the 6-year old Robert Brown down to me. But I have nor started to go backwards from James Brown of Dunbar. He married Mary Dunn on 1st Sept 1833 after an irregular marriage at Coldstream the previous month. (OPR 755/0030 0193.

How do we share info? I have just enlisted here today and I am unfamiliar with these fora.
