	1901 Census ... shows that John did have the initial T ......... so that seems to confirm that it si the 1874 marriage that is the right one. Name: John T Brobyn Age: 49 Estimated Birth Year: 1852 Relation: Head Spouse's Name: Emma B <<<<<<<< it is Emma R on the image Gender: Male Where born: Gloucestershire, England Civil Parish: Littledean Ecclesiastical parish: Little Dean St Ethelbert Town: Littledean County/Island: Gloucestershire Country: England Registration district: Westbury on Severn Sub registration district: East Dean ED, institution, or vessel: 2 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 38 Household Members: Name Age John T Brobyn 49 Emma B Brobyn 48 William H Brobyn 21 Leonard Brobyn 15 Jessie M Brobyn 13 Lillian R Brobyn 11 Herbert L S Brobyn 8 Francis A Brobyn 4 - - - - what age does it give for John on the certificate that you have?? I do agree with Claire that you have bought the wrong one. sylvia
