I hadn't realised that you had all the census details for the family at Towson Street, it might have saved quite a bit of work.

There's obviously too much of a coincidence for them not to be connected.

It is possible that John was a son of Kezia but used the surname Brown if he was brought up by Alexander and if something like this happened you may not find a certificate for him under the name Brown, one reason for looking all round a problem and not just zooming in uncertainly.

Hi Mary sorry about towson st, but didnt want to confuse things as im confused enough lol
Great idea about John being the son of Kyzia Im looking into it but he was born in 1876 and I cant make it fit as much as I want to lol
I will double check it out,great idea
Thanks Christine x

Agewise maybe not - could have been a complete fabrication on the census - or John could be somebody completely different.

Research needs to be done into Kezia and her family as I have my doubts John is connected to Alexander.

Hi All,
If on Johns wedding cert 1902 states he's 19 then his birthdate is 1883.
on army records he died in 1917 april aged 34 years so this bears this out
so I dont think Im out of the woods yet.
A few weeks ago I sent for 4 birth cert covering March to Dec 1883 but no joy as none of them had fathers as John so I'm afraid I will have to plod on lol
I have got 6 lots to send for 2 jan-march 1 april june 1 July -sept and 2 oct-dec all 1882 in case he was born then

So has it been agreed that the John Brown MaryA found in the 1881 aged 1 year is not THE John Brown. Didn't get any notifications so may have missed something!

ive found him on a ship in 1902 but living with a keyzia brown and husband alexander brown (not his Parents but some relative) in Towson street liverpool but 1891aged 9 yrs is the stumbling block as we are not sure of any sisters or brothers.

Christine,

Do you have more details of John's service, ie; number and regiment?
