[CArneil]

I live in Canada and James Henry Brown and Bessie Williams are my Great Grandparents. Their Daughter Mary Caroline Brown is my Grandmother all are from Cornwall. Bessie and the girls came to Canada in 1920 after my G Grandfather passed. Any info or relatives would be welcome. Thank you in advance.

Welcome to Rootschat

Here is their marriage registration

You will have to lookup the 1911 entry yourself as publication of information from that census is not allowed

A birth in Ruan would have been registered in the Helston Registration District (RD) but nothing is showing on freebmd

There is a Truro birth for a James Henry Brown in 1874 and Truro covered Ruanlanihorne

Births December qtr 1874 
James Henry Brown     Truro  5c   143

If this is the correct birth - his mothers maiden name was Davey.  Freebmd has an 1874 marriage in St Austell for Henry Brown and Mary Ann Davey

You will find him on the 1881 census which is free to search here

Thanks so much Carol.. That is the right family. I didnt have James definite bd so that is awesome. They had three daughters, Nellie Dora and Mary..  Mary Davey and Henry James Brown had James, Arthur Constantine.. I would really like to find out how my Ggrandfather died... He died so young.i have a date of July 1910 in Truro.. But i got that from ancestry so want to confirm it. I think Henry had a brother John and sister Anna(Annie) , dont know who she married. I know  they lived in St.Agnes, Cornwall in James Henry's family home.

To find his cause of death you would have to buy a copy of his death cert.  You can do this online via the GRO website and it costs £9.25 GBP

I am on my ipad at the moment so don't have the link to the GRO website but will post it tomorrow

That would be awesome Carol. Thanks again.

I think the July date for the burial refers to the quarter - July-Sept 1910. He was buried 23 Sep 1910 in Stile Field Cemetery, St Agnes.
