Hi:

Is that a wedding announcement or one of Sarah and William's children?

I am a novice .... must be obvious.

Thanks ...Margaret.

BROWN William Pearce Amersham 3a 1803

Hi Pam:

The time delay is because I live in Canada.

Thanks for your research .... as most of the Pearce/Brown family notes are from memory, I think I am going to have to get more documentary evidence to see if we can establish which Sarah Pearce belongs to our Brown family here.

I have checked the Bicknell tree and feel it is not the same branch.

Many thanks for your help .... Margaret.

Hi~!

I am back with a new satellite computer which hopefully will not be affected by thunder storms.

I have this new information regarding Sarah Pearce's
husband which may or may not help in finding the right Sarah.

It seems that William Brown's mother was Nellie Brown. William was her first child and then her husband died when William was a baby. His mother, Nellie, remarried to a James. So William Brown had step brothers - Abraham James, Alfred James, Arthur James.

Hope this helps somewhat.

Best regards. Margaret.

Hi:

We were zapped during a thunderstorm on Monday evening and have just got a temporary computer repair now, so I will be off line for a few days.

I do thank everyone for helping and will be back as soon as I can to study the details and reply to you all.

Best regards....hoping for fair weather. Margaret.

I have a Mary Ann who was Aunt Polly in my tree.

Hi Andrew:

They were born about 1870 so would be too young to be married in 1884 - could be their birth dates are wrong tho.

They had a son in 1906 ...if that helps.

Margaret.

Hi:

Sarah and William married in England and lived at Ballinger Bottom nr. Gt. Missenden, Buckinghamshire, near London. Frank their son was born at Ballinger. So I am sure they came from that area.

I guess Mary Ann and Polly could be the same one ... cannot find a Polly at all .... not a regular name is it....usually short for Margaret.

Margaret.

Andy

Hi:

I am doing this for my son-in-law's family ... and his Ma gave me the information on her hubby's family as he remembers it. I can imagine they would get a name or two wrong but not all of them.

The direct line relative came to Canada so some info was lost in transition I guess.

Thanks for trying to help. Margaret.

Mary Ann and Polly might be one and the same

Where did you get her siblings names from?

Where have the names of James, Daniel, Mary Ann and Polly come from?


When and where are William and Sarah supposed to have married?

Hi:

No other useful information ... I have a contact with a Sarah and William Brown, and everything fits except the siblings .... Margaret.
