Milford Haven - Amy BROWNE

[SarahJane17]

Was hoping someone would be able to help me find some information on what would be my 2nd great-grandmother Amy Browne.  For the longest time I only knew she was born in Wales, but finally found information on a U.S./Canada border crossing form that her place of birth was Milford Haven, Wales.  Her birth year seems to vary from census to census; from 1867-1869.  The only parent I have information on is her father from her marriage certificate.  His name is Charles Eugene Frances Browne. I can't seem to find any information on her before her marriage to David Neil McMillan on Jan 13, 1890 in Londonderry, Northern Ireland.  Any information or direction would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

Sarah

Cant see a birth for an Amy

Might she have been Emily k/a Amy?

1871
Robert Street Steynton, Milford
Mary Elizabeth Brown 25 Wife , Seamans wife RN, bn Whitstable Kent
Emily Jane 2 bn Milford
Rosa Scot 7mths bn Milford
Ann Polhill 57 mother in law widow
Ann Frances Polhill 27 sister in law unm bn Isle of Sheppy Kent


No - cancel that idea!  MAry Elizabeth Polhill married Walter Scott Brown (not a Charles Eugene Francis)

Is the marriage date a typo,  if it should be 1880 she surely cannot have been born 1869.

Yes, sorry it is suppose to be 1890.  I corrected it in my original message.  Thanks for pointing that out

Just an update for anyone coming across this thread. Found "Amy" as Amelia Bridget Brown b. ~1860 in Hakin, Milford. Mother is Corbetta E. Mathias and Charles was never listed because he was a Seaman and not listed on any census with Corbetta. Corbetta is listed living at Sloop Inn on Point Street as the Innkeeper while her husband was at sea.

Marriage of parents in Hubberston 25 Sept 1856
Charles Brown 25 bachelor mariner Mevagissey in the county of Cornwall father John Brown mariner
Corbetta Mathias 20 spinster Hakin father John Mathias mariner

Charles seems to claim to be prussian, as I read it
