Rose

Shirley posted a Brown/Wilson marriage in Lancaster in 1913, if you look at the births, the 2 Lancaster ones would look far more likely to belong to Shirley's

BROWN Elizabeth E Wilson Lancaster 8e 1223

BROWN Thomas Wilson Barrow F. 8e 1103
Births Sep 1917

Brown and Wilson are just too common for surnames.

If this is the James, 64, from 1901, being a soldier gets you around the country;

patchem- I think we are on the same track, but I think I am going to have order Henry's birth cert.

This is what you posted in response to my post

Yes i have done research and using the information from the marriage certificate and the 1911 Household Census I have located his birth details, and have tracked his antecedants back for 4 generations.

QuestIon:

If you are not 100% sure of his birth.........how can you have achieved this?

There is NO birth in England/Wales for Henry Briard Brown

Rose- I don't have James and Henry in the same tree. In Henry's tree I have Annie Wilson Brown ( sister) born approx 1909 Thomas Brown born Oct-Nov- Dec quarter 1915 both in Barrow. But I have not searched for any other siblings Then comes Henry Jul-Aug-Sep quarter 1918 but born in Lancaster. I will order this birth certificate, Maiden name of mother was Wilson. I do have a James married to Emma M Brown as Henry's grandparents in 1891 Census AND in the 1901 census they show a Henry Brown living with them as a grandson but he is aged 12 so it cannot be Henry Briard Brown.( my father)
