Hi all,
I wonder if any one can look at the following to see if they come up with the same answer as me.
I have found William Brown in the following census', all living in the small Derbyshire village of Mickleover.

There is not much controversial there, until I look for a marriage between William & Elizabeth. I can not find a marriage between an William Brown and an Elizabeth Clarke, but I have found the following on the familysearch beta website;
Marriage - St Werburgh, Derby
Groom - William Whitefoot
Bride - Elizabeth Clarke
Date - 21 Feb 1869
Grooms Status - Widower
Grooms Father - Richard Whitefoot
Brides Status - Widow
Brides Father - William Haynes
(Link)
There is no connection between the families, but then I found the following marriage at Mickleover;
Marriage - Mickleover
Groom - John Meeson
Bride - Ada Whitefoot
Date - 29 April 1893
Grooms Age - 21
Grooms Father - George Meeson
Brides Age - 18
Brides Father - William Whitefoot
(Link)
After searching the GRO, I can not find a marriage between John Meeson and Ada Brown.
Looking at the christening records of the Clarke children, I can see that the father was a Thomas Clarke (Link), and looking for a marriage between a Thomas Clarke and Elizabeth Haynes, there just happens to be one in Mickleover, with Elizabeth's father being William (Link).
So, would you say that William Brown is William Whitefoot, or are they two completley different people.
Thanks,
Tippin
