Co Durham Marriages

Thanks for looking

[RuthieB]

I'm looking for Browns    William Lumsden Brown, Thomas Foster Brown and Elizabeth M Brown.  It's a hard job but someone has to do it!! Any sort of Browns with unusual middle names would help.

Needle in haystack time I fear - i expect there'll be quite a few of them.
Any snippets gratefully received,
Best wishes, RuthieB

Hi Ruth

Have you any idea of an area for these Browns

LoL

I may be a while while I check through

Marriage Thomas William Brown Deaf Hill cum Langdale Trimdon 1904

M Fredrick Brown St Johns Escomb 1895

M Thomas Brown 1898 Sacriston

M Elizabeth Brown 1891 West Cornforth

Not as many as I thought there would be none with any unusual middle names..

Oh well. I think if they were anywhere they would be West Auckland or St Helens Auckland, or, knowing them, they slipped out of the county to get married and back again!!

I appreciate your help though.

MAny thanks,
RuthieB (but not B for Brown, thankfully)

I don't suppose there's a Burdett Lambton Brown is there? Married ELizabeth M Brown?  They were both born in Washington, but may have moved south, but then I'm clutching at straws a bit here - possibly married around 1850ish.

Don't go to too much trouble - I should be able to trace a man with that sort of name...

Best wishes, and thanks
RuthieB

Oh Jan! How kind of you! I'd seen the 1881, but not the 1871. Fab!!

I'm trying to work backwards now; I think Burdett's wife is one of 'my' Browns, but I'd be very interested in his too - just in case they're cousins or something.

Many, many thanks
