Looking for information on John Brothers born 1793 in Warwickshire, son of Thomas Brothers & Mary Griffin. Confusing results on searches in British Census and marriage records.
One search indicates John married Harriet Storr in 1836 in Beckenham, Kent, England.
In the 1851 British Census it shows John married age 58, bp Bishop's Itchington, Warwickshire; wife Harriet age 48, and niece Amy Brothers Cleaver age 38 single bp Plumstead, Kent.
Trying to solve the mystery as to the parents of Amy Brothers Cleaver. Amy is shown on John's will as a spinster and is named executrix of his will. John Brothers died Sept 23 1868.
Any help greatly appreciated.
