would that mean Margaret Brown single would be his mother?

It means she MIGHT  but you cannot assume anything without confirmation from church records or certificates.

This is a possible death for Mary A Brown from the Morpeth Herald.

At Woodhorn Glebe on July 29th 1906 aged 77 years Mary Ann Brown wife of the late Thomas Brown of Broomhill. Interred at Woodhorn Churchyard.

Hi Susan

Re Thomas Brown b Amble it looks as though he was born 1880 - 1881 according to the 1881 census. Hints pointed me towards deaths in British Columbia and going to British Columbia deaths on Family Search (where you can see the cert) a death for a Thomas Brown states born 8th June 1880 birthplace Amble, Northumberland, widower,age at last birthday 83 . Father is named as Frank Brown while mother n/k. Date of Death 29 Feb 1964. Mary Fordy is given as wife's name

1901 census has Thomas Brown b Amble still at home in Amble with parents Francis and Margaret and showing as single and aged 20.


I cannot quote the 1911 census but would suggest you look at 1911 census for Thomas Brown b Amble 1881 and link it to my previous post. I suspect you can rule him out as being your Thomas.

Hi William
What a great find Woodhorn Churchyard is not far from me so I think I will take a look down there. I cant find her on the 1901 census other than the one with Thomas and Isabel. It might also be worth checking out the whereabouts of her children as its possible she might have moved in with them before her death

Thank you
Susan

Hi Susan

I would suggest that you have a look at Freereg as the parish record burial of Mary Ann Brown at Woodhorn  has been transcribed. Both William Mabon burials in 1903 and 1905 have also been transcribed  as has that of Jane Cain in 1917. Search under the surname Mabon in Northumberland and quite a few come up in your area. There might be some other graveyards for you to visit.

Might also be worth taking a look at the Monumental Inscriptions file at the Archives at Woodhorn before you go tramping around the churchyard. I spent a couple of hours looking for an ancestor in that churchyard a couple of years ago and have since discovered that there is no legible headstone for him.

Good point, Craclyn. The MIs would be an excellent resource to look at. A number of the burials I noticed were in Bedlington.
