Notes for Herbert BROWN
John READMAN blog 10/4/2014. BIRTHS: BROWN:- March 24th, at Cottingham, the wife of Matthew BROWN, jun., master mariner, of a son. So this baby Brown is the son of another Matthew BROWN, both are Master Mariners. Sure enough searching in the birth records there is a Herbert BROWN registered in the April, May & June quarter of 1884 in registration district of Sculcoates, which includes Cottingham.In Yorkshire BMD there is only one record in 1884:-
BROWN Herbert Cottingham Hull   COT/12/275, so without going to obtain a birth record, I think that Herbert was born on March 24th in Cottingham, near Hull to the wife of Matthew BROWN and  her husband Matthew BROWN, a master mariner. So then I went for a search of a marriage of a Matthew Brown before 1884, but failed to find one in Free BMD which covers marriages in England & Wales.
Notes for May (Spouse 1)

John READMAN blog 10/4/2014
. John & Sarah are in the home of May Brown, nee Readman, and their young daughter. May and Herbert Brown, a bank clerk live in Harrow, Middlesex. Sarah Readman, nee Duckering died on 25th March 1925, in Grimsby. John James died on 3rd October 1930, at the home of his daughter Alice now married to Arthur Ernest Bradley at 29, Beard Road, Gorton, Manchester. He was buried in Gorton Cemetery, later so were Alice and her husband. So still a lot to discover, but John is the most photographed of all my early relations-no doubt others were but the photographs have not survived. John is not a close relation, because I am descended from his younger brother Arthur.
