Is anyone at a loose end - need help finding Henry?

[vikki brace]

Hi ya everyone - I've not been about for a while, but I am trying to have some me time and do my tree.

I have come to a bit of a wall and I need a helpful wreaking ball.

Ok, This is what I have so far.

Henry Brown b.1857 (+/-1) married Mary Ann Donovan b.1859 (+/-1) 09 Jul 1881 St John the Evangelist, Walworth
Daughter - Sarah Ann Brown b.1879 Bermondsey, Surrey
Daughter - Jane Brown b.1885 Bermondsey, Surrey (Aka Agnes Jane Brown)
Son - John Brown b.1891 Bermondsey, Surrey (listed as Jack in 1911)

Henry's father according to marriage cert was Frederick Brown - deceased

According to the 1911 census they had 10 children but only 3 were living.

1911 - 13 Victory Place, Camberwell, London
Henry, Mary Ann and Jack (John)
1901 - 19 Victory Place, Camberwell, London
Henry, Mary Ann, Sarah, Jane and John (Jack)
1891 - 16 Suffolk Place, Bermondsey, Surrey
Henry, Mary Ann, Sarah and Jane

Henry's occupation is listed as Carman on the 1891 census through to the 1911 census.

I have not been able to trace Henry or the family back any further. I have found Mary Ann with her parents in 1861 but nothing else.

Any help will be very welcome

Do you have a birth place for Henry?

1911 - Surrey London
1901 - Bermondsey
1891 - Woolwich but could be Walworth (bad image)

The reference for 1891 is RG12; Piece: 370; Folio 43; Page 7

The names have been mistranscribed

I thought this would be the 1891 census which gives Henry's place of birth as Westminster.

Woops, you are right as always, I've written down Woolwich and Walworth for some reason - late night searches are always a bad idea....lol

So its

1911 - Surrey London
1901 - Bermondsey
1891 - Westminster

In other words he didn't really know!!

Don't you just love it when that happens.............

I don't know if it helps but I believe that this family were Roman Catholics

It might just be a coincidence but on the marriage certificate it gives Henry's address as 28 Henshaw Street.
In 1891 there is another Brown family living at that address - I wonder if they are related in some way - might be worth tracing them back a generation to see if you can find a link.
