Derbyshire / Re: Brown's of Stoney Middleton

Hi Jogobo,
Just found your PM - I'm only just finding out how this works! As I haven't posted enough to reply there, I'll add a bit here.
Eliza/john Brown are my ancestors through Alice. I worked back to them from census info - it was a bit of a surprise that Alice was born in Derbyshire as I thought all my family were southerners.
I went to Stoney Middleton this summer, and found the gravestone - still legible - to Jane Bentley (Eliza's mother who died in 1865) and Robert, who may or may not have been her father.
