George Brownless

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Carole Report 10 Dec 2016 17:13

My grandfather, George Brownless, who I think was born 14th December 1892 and died in 1977, Carlisle, was married to Olive Taylor, again if I have it right.

How do I find out if they had children, my mother thinks he did, as they could be my aunts/uncles.

George, my dad's father, and my grandmother didn't marry but I'm sure he married, Olive Taylor?

Please can anyone help? I just don't know where to go from here.

Many thanks,

From FreeBMD:

This will be the marriage you mean:

Marriages Dec 1925 (>99%)
Brownless George H Taylor Carlisle 10b 972
Taylor Olive Brownless Carlisle 10b 972

FreeBMD does not show any Brownless / Taylor births.

Might Taylor have been Olives previous married name? If so, any children wouldn's show up as Brownless/Taylor

How about this?

Births Sep 1928 (>99%)
Brownless William Pearson Carlisle 10b 898

We'd need to discount a Brownless/Pearon marriage, if there in one.

If all else fails, you may need to buy a copy of their marriage certficate to establish her status - divorced, widowed, spinster.

There are these births, with two of the children named George and Olive - don't know if somehow relevant ??

Births Sep 1928 (>99%)
Brownless William Pearson Carlisle 10b 898
Births Mar 1931 (>99%)
Brownless George Pearson Carlisle 10b 838
Births Sep 1935 (>99%)
BROWNLESS Olive Pearson Carlisle 10b 788


Don't see a Brownless / Pearson marriage.

EDIT:
Well, perhaps they're the children of this couple:

Marriages Dec 1915 (>99%)
Brownless Charles T Pearson Auckland 10a 454
Pearson Margaret E Brownle[s_]s Auckland 10a 454


But it 's quite a big gap between 1915 and 1928.

EDIT:
Well, Mary couldn't be the daughter of the Thomas who died in 1921 - if he's relevant.
But could be Olive's daughter, nevertheless.
And maybe that Thomas is nothing to do with this family.
