Title: The Brown Brothers Newbattle Midlothian
Post by: suzilad on Sunday 24 April 11 14:11 BST (UK)

I am trying to find  more information on the last two children of Robert Brown and Janet King their sons John who  was born 16 March 1850 and James on 1 December 1856 both in Newbattle Midlothian . They were both alive on  the 1861 census but I can't find them on any other I can find no deaths for them on SP either.

Thanks

Suzilad

Hi Suzilad

This looks like the family in 1871, with likely mother Janet's name mistranscribed (as are other bits too):

Robert Brown 46, coal miner
James Brown 45
Ellen Brown 17
Robert Brown 14
James Brown 12
Jane Brown 7
Beatrice Brown 4

Address: 23 Sandydean, Lasswade

James shows as born Dec. 1858 on IGI so fits with above age.

John likely living away from hom by 1871?

Possible entry for John in 1871:

John Brown 21, papermaker b. Newbattle
Jemima Brown 20 b. Pennywick, Edin
James Brown 3 months b. Lasswade, Edin

Starter for 10 on the address transcription: Not Lumen Whorn Hay Were On The Right Of The 2d J Street...in Lasswade at least!
