Date of birth record

[Mr.Brown.]

well because there is a census for 1861 with this David Brown/Gibson(1842) on it when we already have AHC (1842?) on an 1861 census with his Grandfather.
One thing I have not found is who the other younger  Grandchild on the 1861 census was, may or may not be relevant - could be his brother half brother without the Cookson name - another odd thing is that AHC gets to use the Cookson name when he is illegitimate?

Your name on your tree is Gordon Brown - no number 86

Ah, yes, I hadn't realised who David Brown Gibson was & when I read your comment about back to square one it didn't register this was Ann & family 

Who was Thomas Brown' 1st wife, when & where married, how many daughters did they have, names & dates please?

Annie

[Mr.Brown.]

Thomas Brown's first wife was Margaret Rufhead married in 27 Jan 1808 at Woodhorn but of Cresswell. - possible sister to his second wife Mary.
There is a son Henry of 1808 probably first born then gap to Elizabeth of 1812, Margaret 1815, possible Ann 1816,Mary 1820 (twin of John)
I had speculated that there may be a daugher of second wife Mary from her first marriage.
I have families for all the baptised daughters.

Do you know what happened to Elizabeth, where was she in 1841 as she's not at home with her father & siblings?

Could she have been working away or had she died?

Annie

It is quite possible that the young James Brown was the illegitimate son of Ann Brown as there is a baptism in Newbiggen 22 Oct 1837 for James Brown illegitimate son of Ann Brown singlewoman of Cresswell.

Does that mean that Ann was also an Armstrong in 1851? Because James Brown, stepson, 13, is in one of the Armstrong families in Newbiggin.
Ann Armstrong, 38, born Cresswell

Annie - other trees have Elizabeth married off to an Armstrong (another ahh) but I have not been able to verify it so have never added it to my tree - havent done much research on her....

[Mr.Brown.]

jonw65 - yes I have those records on my tree as the same Ann Brown with 2 illigitimate children, David stayed with his fathers family but James was adopted to the Armstrong family - all hypothesis.....
