Find Ancestors

I am trying to research my husband's great grandfather. His name was Edward Brown, I don't know when or where he was born all I do know is that he married a Florence maud Proctor in Spilsby in 1901. I know that they had aleast five children two of them I know thier names. One was John Hubbard Brown born 1907 and the other was Florence Hubbard Brown born 1908/9.
The other children where born before 1907.
If anybody can help with this I would be very grateful.
Regards Carmen

The marriage cert will tell you his age, his father's name (if he knew him) and his father's occupation

Thanks for that Flick.

Couldn't see the other family members in 1911

Do you know where and when Florence Maud Proctor was born? I can't see a birth reg'n for her...................unless she was born in Brighton.....and married at the age of 16

The lady who is the head in the 1911 census is Florence Maud Proctor's sister. So I presume that Florence was born in the same area. When i was looking on ancestry one day i found a Florrie Proctor living with Edward Brown but i cannot remember which census it was.

Thank you Carmen..that was the key!

Hi Flick

Thanks for that, that is absolutely brilliant I can now fill in the bits on my tree. You couldn't do me another favour and see if you could trace Florrie Proctor back for me.

No adult Proctors on the page................

I have found three in the 1881 census. Out of those three it looks like it could be the one in the Caistor Union Workhouse as she is there with her sister Mary.
Thanks for all your help Flick.

regards Carmen

Sorry it didn't produce info about her parentage............

Flick

Do you know how to find John Hubbard Brown in the 1911 census. I have had a look but the only one that seems to be close is John mason Brown born the same year in Grimsby.

I was hoping you wouldn't ask...only joking!

I looked for him earlier, when I found Florence with her aunt.................

I'll give it another shot - but if I don't post anything tonight, assume I've gone to bed.......and will try again tomorrow
