Hello, Chezz,

Looking for anything in the 1841 census for Joseph Brown without any info on him,i e. place of birth or possible district is an almost impossible task, there are so many to choose from.

As you say he was a Greenwich Hospital pensioner this means he was probsbly in the Navy as all navy pensions were paid  thro' the hospital.  Have you tried the Natinal Archives site for any info ?   try this one.

Good luck.
