Lainey1978 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I'm looking for the Mary Brown that married Joseph Twiss or Twist in 1814. I would like to find when and where she was born, who her parents were, and whether or not she had any siblings and if so, their names. I'm finding it nigh impossible considering there were a lot of Browns! I don't know if she came from somewhere else, or what. I did find that there was a Jane Brown married in 1815 to a Joseph Hart, and Joseph Twist was one of the witnesses, but I don't know if it was my Joseph Twist or not. Please help! ETA more information: This is what it says on the Lancashire Online Parish website: Marriage: 22 Nov 1814 St Mary The Virgin, Prescot, Lancashire, EnglandJoseph Twist - Engineer, Bachelor, this ParishMary Brown - (X), Spinster, this Parish Witness: Benjamin Greenall; Sarah Birchall, (X) Married by Banns by: John Kirby, Minister Register: Marriages 1813 - 1830, Page 29, Entry 86 Source: LDS Film 1657584 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baptised 8th November 1789 at St.Helens Chapel. Parents Thomas Twiss (1753-1829) & Sarah Knowles (1759-1850) Married as stated above to Mary Brown in 1814. Lived at Smithy Row, Haydock. Died 1866 aged 77 and Buried at St.Thomas Ashton on the 2nd of August - Cause of death: asiatic cholera. Mary Brown - Birth 1796 in Ashton-in-Makerfield or Haydock, Lancashire, England Death 7 August 1866 in Smithy Row, Haydock, Lancashire, England. Buried 8th August 1866 at St. Thomas, Ashton-in-Makerfield, Lancashire, England. Mary Twiss - of Smithy Row, Florida, Haydock - Age 67 years. Mary's father could possibly be a Richard Brown born about 1770 and married to Esther? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lainey1978 Posted November 15, 2015 Author Share Posted November 15, 2015 Yes, that's Joseph..where did you get the information on Mary? I have her marriage record and some censuses, and they have her being born anywhere from 1794 to 1799. I think I have her death record, too. Some of the sources say she was from Windle, some say Ashton, some say Haydock, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
