Robert Brown - Whitehaven
« on: Monday 14 August 17 15:20 BST (UK) »
My Gt Grand-mother Sarah Elizabeth Evans (widow) married Robert Brown (widower) 30th Oct 1867 at St Bartholomews Salford Lancashire.
Roberts occupation was stated as Engineer & his father was named as Thomas Brown deceased Joiner.  8D 81 332

In the 1901c they are listed as living in West Bank St, Salford RG13/184/38

Robert Brown        (H) 49 -Whitehaven
Sarah E Brown      (W) 49 -Edinburgh
Harry Brown         (S)  12- Salford
Samuel Hall    boarder 25-     "

I have found a Robert Brown ch. 3 June 1850 Aspatria to a Thomas /Margaret Brown but don't know if this is him.

Robert obviously was married previously & I don't know who his wife was or any issue/ siblings.

There is a recorded death Salford 1927 which is possibly him 8D447 109

Any help with finding the correct Robert Brown plus a 1st marriage/family would be appreciated.

If Robert was allegedly born in 1851/2, then he would have been only 17 at his 2nd marriage to Sarah?

And Sarah was the same age and a widow?

Did the marriage take place in 1897? If it did then 12 year old Harry must be a son from Robert's first marriage.

Apologies that should have read 1897.

Yes the marriage was 1897 (my mistake) & as my Gt Grandma was a Domestic Housekeeper I wonder if she initially worked for Robert.
My Gt Grandma Sarah (known as Bessie) was previously married to George Evans & they had 5 children between 1870 & 1879. The last one being my Grandmother Emma.

I have found a HARRY BROWN baptism at St Bartholomews Salford 1891(same church as Robert & Sarahs marriage) however this one has parents William & Mary.I have looked back on the parish records of this church for any other HARRY BROWNS but there are no others.
Will keep looking at other possible churches.

There was a Robert BROWN (8 ) in Whitehaven in 1861 with a father Thomas BROWN who was a cabinet maker.

Birthplace given as Glasgow.
Today I broke my personal record for most consecutive days alive.
