He was the son of a Parker Thomas Brown and Susanna Jane Ray.
I am told that he married and had ten children but cannot trace any records.
Can anyone help me find details.
Await in due course.
Regards.
Michael.

It's a pity he had such a common name, Michael! It doesn't help!

For helpers' reference, here's the family in 1851 (probably):

George Brown
in the 1851 England Census
Name: George Brown
Age: 3
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1848
Relation: Son
Mother's name: Susanah Brown
Gender: Male
Where born: Faversham, Kent, England
Civil Parish: Faversham

Sub-registration district: Boughton
ED, institution, or vessel: 3f
Neighbors: View others on page
Household schedule number: 57
Piece: 1626
Folio: 400
Page Number: 13
Household Members:
Name Age
Susanah Brown 47 - widow
Hatton Brown 22 - pipe maker
Edward Brown 20 - farmer's labourer
Jane Brown 16
John Brown 10
George Brown 3

George's birth??

Births Jun 1847 (>99%)
BROWN George Faversham 5 167

On that 51 census for Susanah it says under occupation widow of ( and I can't make out the rest of it but it doesn't look like Parker Thomas)

Have you found him in any later censuses, Michael?
He's elusive so far.

If not, is it possible that one of these deaths could be his??

Deaths Jun 1859 (>99%)
BROWN George Faversham 2a 348

Deaths Sep 1860 (>99%)
BROWN George Faversham 2a 323

Susanah's "occupation" in 1851 is "widow of [something - hair ??] draper". [EDIT: must be Hair dresser, per 1841 below.]
Nothing to do with her late husband's name, Margaret.


In 1841 the family are in the workhouse:

Well done, Gins, that solves it.

Thanks ArgyllGran, you're right, 51 census says widow of hair dresser. There's another word then charity (I think)

His mother re-married in 1856

John Aylett Head Married Male 62 1799 Bricklayer Faversham, Kent, England
Susannah Aylett Wife Married Female 57 1804 - Faversham, Kent, England

Thanks everyone for all your help.
If George did die in 1860,that explains the no trace as it falls just short of the 1861 census!
Much regards.

If you're sure the Crayford 1944 death for Sidney James Brown is correct, he must have remarried at some point.

Thanks everyone for responses.
Further info much appreciated.
Will have to find out if Harry[Henry] had any children.
Arthur George[do not know of any other name for him] and therefore Kate Florence Deards was his wife[hope] but no children born.
Sidney James--Frances M Wright was a guess which is altered to an Alice Elizabeth.
Will have to search for any children and her maiden name.
Many regards.
Michael. :-D
