Brown(e)/Shorrocks/Guy

Anthony Report 17 Nov 2007 20:27

I'm trying to find information on my Great Grandmother, Sarah Ann(e) Brown(e), She and her twin sister where the only survivors of 17 children, all the others died in infancy, at birth or where stillborn. She married William Shorrocks from the Manchester area and when he died she went on to marry a man whose surname was Guy, first name possibly Edward. I have a photo of Edward and adding some more info would be great.
Thanks
Tony

Do you have an approximate year and location for her birth/marriages?

Anthony

Anthony Report 30 Oct 2011 14:22

Sorry don't have dates as yet but after a bit of research it appears that her name was actually Hind not Brown, she had 11 children, 5 sets of twins and a single birth, only one twin and the single birth survived. The survivng twin was my great grandmother!
Carry on searching!!

Hi all
Very nice of you to contribute. 19 pine street was indeed the address. The other survivng child I beleive was called Harriet, so there fore Harriet Hind or Brown. Sorry I can't be more specific, my Dad is no longer with us and his sister, my aunt Irene lives an the USA!
Thanks again

I've also looked at free DMB and it appears the surname we are looking at is after all Hind, not Brown

A tree on Ancestry has Walter Hind married to a Susan - no mn which could be the Susannah Green above
Oddly, there is a marriage between a Susan Hind and a John GUY Q2 1905 Nottingham ref 7b 708
Walter died 1896 aged 37 Nottingham ref 7b 193, so this could be his widow remarrying

Anthony

Anthony Report 30 Oct 2011 16:40

This information is very relevant. My aunt does say that her great gran or gran remarried to a chap whose name was surname was Guy and I beleive thay lived in Calverton, Notts. This all is great, thank you all very much.

Original image actually says married 11 years (perhaps how long they'd been together). She'd had 5 children, all died.

Gladys, Dorothy, Leslie and Thomas were my grandad's siblings. There was also a William, John and Arthur. The Hind on the documents is a reference to their mother's maiden name. Interestingly, Thomas wasn't a full Shorrocks, he was the result of an affair his mother had while his Dad was away fighting in the war,
Gladys H Shorrocks married and became Gladys Gregory And Dorothy became Dorothy Rawson,
