I have been trying unsuccessfully for some time to to find my 3x Great Grandfather for some time with not much success.
His name was George Cooper Brown
He Married Louisa
I have found a burial record for him for 18th January 1835
From this I know that he was born around 1776
I kow they had 2 children Sarah in 1826 and Samuel in 1828
He was buried in Gainsborough England and Louisa and the children lived here as I have found Census entries.
I am hoping someone out there can help unlock this mystery for me

Thanks
Bruce
Penrith, NSW, Australia

Just Found Margret she was a servant at 15
Not sure who her mother is though as Lousia would have been 61 when Margret was born
