i there
i am trying to find what happened to Cornelius Brown, born in 1846 Foxley in Norfolk, bap. 6th Oct. 1846 Briston Primitive Methodist Church, parents Charles Brown and Mary Betts. He Married Ann Long on the 17th August 1874 at St. Pauls Church Middlesborough he was aged 26 and her 19. I have him on the 1851/61/71/81 census
the 81 census he was with Ann and the first son Edward. at 25 Wadlow st Bestwick Lancashire. thats were he ends. Edward died 1890 in the district of Salford, and on the 1891 census Ann is with Albert her second son and is supposed to be married to James Brown [no wed cert found] it says he was born in Foxley but cannt find any proof yet of that, they lived at 43 Bigland st Salford. My prob is I cannt find when Cornelius Died or what happed to him. any Ideas please

Have you got a birth cert for Albert to see father's name on it?
