Mary Brown

[Familysearch]

Just downloaded PDF from GRO (Ref: Mary Hanson - Deaths 1899 Halifax 9a 275)

Unfortunately, not a match. Back to the drawing board.

Thanks FS

Do you mean it is not a match for Mary Hanson (Brown)?

Have you checked the. Hanson/Brown marriage?

It's a pity Familysearch didn't look on FamilySearch

Thanks Jon.
It may be better to try that marriage. Of course it may not be her but perhaps worth a try.

Thanks for that link. It could be useful for the Brighouse part of my tree.

I've struggled with the Family Search website since they changed it years ago ( and despite my sign on name for this site!!)

She is the only one of Anthony Thomas Brown's family photo that I have not been able to trace.
