It's kind of fun, but this is the last one!

Samuel Brown in 1873
30 results, including 3 with a dash for mmn

And this was reduced by the method outlined to 3 results, all with a dash for mmn.

So it seems to be working!

Ahh thank you that does help somewhat.

No - you then get the whole list, I am trying to just get ones with a dash for mmn to save scrolling through the list and the potential of me missing someone with the dash.

Hello - Ive tried various ways to find a person with no MMN which comes up as - in the list and would like to just find the ones with - but cant find a way to do it, have tried putting the - in various places and even copied and pasted the dash from other results but still doesn't work.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Gordon.

Tree Spirit - thank you, so it would appear that you did not find the record using the 'Search' facility on Family search but by going directly to one of these indices/records and then looking for the name of a Brown birth in the year in question.

I tried every way in 'search' even using the information that you have shared and it never came across the record.
So at least now I can look for other Brown using the links you provided.

A possibility?
Marie Jacqueline BROWN 6 May 1818, Daughter of Pierre BROWN, sailor and Elisabeth BULTON
The declaration was filed by Pierre Jean Massart, a 47-year-old certified midwife from Ostend. The father was absent at the birth.

TreeSpirit please help me out, I have spent hours trying to replicate your search for this record without success, will you please walk me through the process, it would appear to have been done using Search/Records but this does not take me to your record ?
Thank you, Gordon.

Thanks for this - I have been trying to duplicate your search in search of other family members but cant get it - could you give me some guidance - Thanks Gord.

Ahh yes - I dont seem to have comprehended what I was reading above re the birth and marriage which do fit with one another and the location - I think I was blinded by expecting to see the mother called 'Miss' James.
Thank you very much.

ahh yes that is the potential 1841 census I have which fits with a potential birth of an illegitimate first child but this couple would appear to be married whereas I have an illegitimate first child with mother name of Brown - they may have been together but not actually married. ?

What puzzles me is what was MJB doing being born in Belgium and the only thing I can think of is her father was in the army and involved in the battle of Waterloo. So I was wondering if soldiers had their wives with them when stationed abroad.
There are a number of 'Brown' records regarding the Battle of Waterloo. (incidentally not 'my' Browns)
