Disappearance of Albert Mortimer Brown

[alan o]

I am trying to track down Albert Mortimer Brown who I beleive was living in Carmarthenshire in 1901.  He appears in Llanelly in the census of that year living with his father George.  I can then not find him anywhere.

Albert is born in Sep 1886 in St David's Pembrokeshire.  His brothers George Mortimer Brown and Osborne have emigrated to NY City USA while his mother Catherine has died.  One other brother, Latimer has joned the Royal navy while another Horatio is a baker in Wales.  Now with names like these, not standard Pembroke fare by any means, I have tracked the brother but Albert and father George (b.1850) elude me.

I suspect they have fallen into poverty as George snr was a retired farmer before his wife died and the family money may have gone with her.

Grateful for any asssitance to find him post 1901, any emigration or death.

The free 1911 index has an Albert Brown aged 24 b Pembrokeshire living in Glamorgan - have you already ruled him out?  GRU 1911 index has birthplace as Milford

The 1891 census has 2 Albert Browns b Pembroke - yours and an Albert c b 1888

Your Albert was living in the town of Milford in 1891 - the other Albert wasn't

Thanks.  The Milford Albert is not him as my Albert was The Quay in St Thomas with his family and aged 5 in 1891.

think that Milford is a quirk of Ancestry's transcription, the image shows St Thomas, Haverfordwest.

Possible marriage?
Albert M Brown dec qtr 1916 Swansea vol 11a pg 1773 to Catherine J Grey

Births of 2 sons & a daughter registered Swansea with surname Brown and mother's maiden name Grey over following 11 years. I won't give their names in case they are still alive.

Possible death reg
Albert Brown 67 dec qtr 1954 Swansea vol 8b pg 753

Hi

think that Milford is a quirk of Ancestry's transcription, the image shows St Thomas, Haverfordwest.

Genes Reunited 1911 index has birthplace as Milford Pembroke

1891 on Ancestry shows them living in the Civil/Ecclesiastical Parish of St Thomas in the Town of Milford

Although 1891 birthplace is shown as St Thomas - 20 years later Albert may have used Milford rather than St Thomas

Thanks.  That could be him them.  Do you know if his father George (b1850) was living with him in 1911?

Sorry - 1911 lookups are not allowed - only guidance from the free index

The 1891 image shows him living in the parish of St Thomas in Haverfordwest and born St David's. There isn't a parish of St Thomas in Milford Haven which was in the parish of Steynton before it had its own church, St Catherine's in the 1860s.

An Albert Mortimer Brown appears on the 1936 electoral register in Southall, along with a Catherine Jane, which looks very like it is him
