Notes
1. Married at the parish church of St Andrew, Plymouth in 1817.
2. Married at the parish church of Charles, Plymouth in 1840.
3. Elizabeth was born at North Shields in the Tynemouth registration district, but there appears to be no matching birth registration. Was she born before her parents married, or was Mary Brown not her mother?
