Sorry Mark, but I can't find Elizabeth's second marriage on Ancestry. Perhaps they didn't marry? I have to go out now, good luck in your search, Sue Update...oh well done Marie! Looks like you've found it! |

The 2nd marriage seems to sort out for you the John Brown death as being the first one (1859) Mark, especially as he does not seem to appear in 1861. Jay |

Mark 1861 census index shows a John Thomas Brown in Coventry Holy Trinity, BUT born c 1861. The 1863 death could be him. Jay |

Afternoon all! I've now received the Marriage Cert for John Brown and Elizabeth Simpson which seems to match what I know to date. A couple of questions though... 1) The marriage was in 'The Cath. & Parish Church' inthe Parish of Manchester. What would a lowly ancestor of mine be doing getting married in a Cathedral? (Or was it more common back then (1850)? 2) Groom and his father's occupations given as Whitesmith which I believed to be to do with working with white metals. Does this tie in with John's later occupation as watchmaker? (I have found a census entry in 1841 for what might be the Brown's in Prescot where both John and Richard are 'watch-m')? 3) I can't at the moment find Elizabeth in 1841 - she was 28 in July 1850, d of John Simpson - occupation - 'Clogger' Mark |
