Durham / Re: BROWN burial in Benfieldside/Blackhill Municipal Cemetery
« on: Wednesday 30 October 13 13:40 GMT (UK) »
Hi Shirelass
I am researching John Brown too as he was my great great Grandad. I have been unable to find details of his mother, so I was interested in your comment that you believe she was called Catherine? I also have nothing to suggest he was married before (other than the information on this thread), so I wondered if you have managed to confirm or dismiss that theory? I will PM you my email address so we can share info if you would like to.
PatB, the information provided in the Brown PDF of burials is amazing! I have found not only John & Elizabeth Brown's missing children, but also details of my Nan's brother being stillborn in 1928 (parents were William & Janet Brown). It has also helped me to confirm that the family were in Blackhill still a little later than I thought, so thank you so much! I notice from other posts on here that you used to have a website for Blackhill cemetery. Is there any plans to bring it back? I have some Allen ancestors too who I believe may also be buried in Blackhill cemetery and possibly Grahams too so if you have a PDF of those that would be amazing.
Thanks again. I love what you can find on forums. I only searched Blackhill and the first thread I find is about my family!
