a relative has the mourning ring for richards brown, inherited through the  family, dated 28 oct 1798. it makes sense it's him as he was married in that church, and his sister's family are all associated with it too. which has me wondering, if he married there and was buried there, all in a little over a year, why were the kids born in godmanchester?

he was an MD, graduated from edinburgh in 1795. the brown family were of the horbling brown's, there is a dr brown buried at horbling, but it was 1797, possibly before the marriage to lavinia broff.

i am nowhere near an LDS centre, so it makes it more difficult!

thanks for the help geoff. i already know about her life, i was hoping to get confirmation of her birth, and see if she was a twin.

oh that is marvellous! i hadn't thought to ask if it could be restored!

hi all,

i have this photo of a soldier, which is thought to be from before 1900, as the soldier has queen victoria's crown pinned on his neck. is anyone able to identify the uniform?



thanx for any help.

i did think maybe they had some parishes in the database, but hadnt added the dates of the registers on their list.

as far as i know huntingdon itself and elton are the only parishes the family were from. and freereg has some coverage of huntingdon, specially burials.
