[CaroleW]

That Harriet appears to have died at 11mths old and been buried 21st June 1828 St Mary Goudhurst

I replied in haste last night after a tiring evening out - I had, as mentioned at the outset, found the birth and death of a Harriet whose DOB and place of birth fitted. But thanks for your interest and help.
The search continues.....

From earlier post on John & Harriet's marriage which only got this response

Just so we can see the family - 1861 Greenwich

John Brown   46 - Contractor bn Drayton, Bucks
Harriet Brown   33 bn Goudhurst, Kent
John Brown   10 bn Ireland
Thos Brown   8 bn Bayford, Hert
Herbert Brown   6 bn Bayford, Herts
Ernest Brown   6 months bn Greenwich

Herbert's birth reg  -    Herbert Samuel Hodgskin Brown -  Hertford    3a   220     (Sept qtr 1853)

I can add Thomas Hodgskin Brown birth reg 1Q 1852 and both Thomas and Herbert were christened on 9 Nov 1855 Holy Trinity Milton by Gravesend.

So Thomas's birth date may add to fact that John Brown whose birth appears to be in 1851 in Ireland may not be Harriet's son. There is then a gap of several years before Ernest is born...but can't trace his birth. I will investigate Holy Trinity's records to see if there is any further information.

OK I have John Brown, Thomas Hodgskin Brown, Herbert Samuel Hodgskin Brown & Arthur Brown all christened 9 Nov 1855 at Holy Trinity....parents John & Harriet, living at Whitehall Place. John is a contractor.
So Arthur also did not have Hodgskin added to his name.

I will continue to search...

Dec 1860
Greenwich 1d 596
Brown Ernest

[racheljoyce]

Thank you  That fits with him being 6 mths old on 1861 census...no christening record yet.

[Milliepede]

Possible marriage for Ernest 22 carpenter 24 Dec 1882 with father John Brown contractor but deceased.

Bride Mary Ann Wiggins 21

That's fantastic ...I was just looking at possible 1911 census for him and his wife is Mary Ann
 

what is more one of the witnesses Mary Ann Keating was future wife of his brother Thomas.

Thanks so much.
