Death of Annie Keen, formerly Brown, nee Johnston, 1932

[Peggy13]

I have now ordered the birth certificate for Robert Brown, born Sept 20, 1906 to see who the parents are, particularly mother. Is anyone able to find a marriage for a Robert Brown to an Amelia (as per will) to see the parent's names? If Robert born 1906, marriage possibly abt 1930.
thanks for any help.

I now have the birth certificate for Robert Brown born Sept 20, 1906 and it seems to be the correct Robert, with mother Annie Brown, formerly Johnson, a laundress of 7 Hatherton Street. What puzzles me is that the address of Robert is 90 Eccles New Road, Salford, and the address of the informant, mother, Annie Brown is also 90 Eccles New Road. So why does it say Annie is a laundress of 7 Hatherton Street? Is that where she works?
I looked back at the 1901 census to see Annie's address in 1901 and it is 21 Hampson Street, North Salford. But I can't make out her place of birth. Can anyone help me with that? It is different than what is given in 1911 which is Coagh, Ireland.
thanks

Looking at 1901, I think 90 New Eccles street is the workhouse. So I would think that is where she had Robert and where she was at the time she registered the birth.  But normally at the other address.

Thank you Mckha489 for your continued help. What you say makes sense.

Thanks Mckha489, I did notice dob for George Harry Brown on the 1911. I prev. had Apr 19, 1895 in Manchester. I will have to pursue that, as best I can.
At the moment, I am looking for the marriage of Robert Brown to Florence Farmer aka Beeley in 1949.  A descendant of Annie's has Florence as wife for Robert whereas the will that I found for Robert with dod of Jan 10, 1979 has wife Amelia. What a difficult family to  research. Descendant also had dod for Robert as Dec 1972 in Salford but both 1972 and 1979 are missing on the online index for gro.gov.uk. I would love to find an obituary for Robert naming relatives. Whether Robert died in 1972 or 1979, he was the last sibling to die. Can't be sure if his marriage or his death is under Keen or Brown but I have been looking under Brown as per birth record.

Is the will you have of a Robert Brown whose address is in Preston? If yes that person did die in the March Q of 1979 registered Preston but their birthdate is 11 Dec 1902.

Your Robert would appear to be the one I have posted above this.

Have you contacted the tree owner on Ancestry with the Salford Robert marrying Florence? There are possible descendants there.
