Thankyou Joan

Elizabeth

Will do Joan

Many thanks

Can you just tell me were they all born Ruscomb

I was trying to see if I could find Charles Brown inthe 1881 census on familysearch but of course there are so many!
Elizabeth

According to the 1861 census, Phillip, Sarah, Selina and Charles' occupation was wool hand loom weaver. Emma was listed as wool worker. They resided at Ockerhill (?).

They were all born in Stroud except for Martha (Bisley, Glous), Albert (Painswick, Glous.), and Ellen (Randwick).

Strange though that the image doesn't say that Emma is married or widowed.
Look on freebmd for a potential marriage of a Brown to a Merrett,
Joan

I think I may have answered my own question re Emma Merrett .
I take it that was Emma Brown's married name with her son

Elizabeth

Hi Elizabeth
Emma Merrett was Phillip ans Sarah's daughter

You've beaten me to it well forward anyway

Does it say what relationship the Merrett's were?

thankyou

Hi Joan

It looks like it

Gosh another lot of children!!

Does it say Philips occupation and where they were living.
Also if you could tell me where they were all born

If you have time to go further back for me that would be great

many thanks

Elizabeth

Hi again folks
Sorry I realise a made amistake with Ellen's date of birth it should have been 1858/59

That may help

Mnat thanks

Elizabeth

If anyone could kindly do a look up of the 1861 census for this gentleman and family I would be gratefull.

He was born I would think in Randwick/Ruscombe poss around 1830/1840.
His wife was Sarah and he had a daughter called Ellen born 1869c.
Philip was dead at the time of Ellen's marriage to William Cratchley in June 1881.

Any further information backwards on Philip would be grate too.I know it may difficult re the name.

many thanks

Elizabeth
