Mary Brown
« on: Tuesday 18 February 25 18:49 GMT (UK) »
Sorry, it;s such  a common name, but I've lost Mary Brown.

Mary Brown b Keighley. Yorkshire 1866. One of six children born to Anthony Thomas and Sarah Brown. The family were in Halifax by 1870.

Everyone else is accounted for, including Anthony's second wife and their daughter.

Can you help me find Mary, please?

Many thanks.

Not shown as stepmother - Ann is shown as a widow & children shown as her sons & daughters. 

No details in your post re name of Anthony's second wife or when they married - or when Anthony died

That is the family.

As I'm only looking for Mary I didn't think it relevant to post details of the whole family.

I have all the others followed through to their deaths - except Mary.

You mentioned that ‘the family were in Halifax by 1870’ and then the ‘second wife and daughter’.
You didn’t give any further details re the family to help research.
That is why I asked if that was the family in 1881 as neither of the parents’ names matched in that census. We now know they were both deceased.
Have you checked any possible deaths or marriages between 1881 and 1891.

Thank you. I guess because I know the family it all seemed straight forward to me.

Here is the reference to the 1871 census: WRYRG10 4392 4395 0567

Sarah died in 1875, Anthony in 1880.

Eliza is the daughter of Anthony and Ann - so a half sister to the others.

I have checked marriages and deaths up to 1891, but of course may have missed something.
