We cross-posted, Kite!
I've been checking out Kate Brown nee Kindley's father, Ralph Sheldon Kindley. He seems to have been born in North Shields and married three times. 1 1824 married Sarah Holley, St Dunstan's and All Saints, Stepney. 2 1826 married Dorothy Childs in Penzance. 3 1834 married Jane Berryman in Madron, Penzance.

There are some public trees on ancestry which have this as the family in 1870 in the USA:
1870 US census Milwaukee, Wisconsin Brown, William 39 Bookkeeper born England Kate 35 Keeping House born Spain Carlos 16 Printer born England. Then on the 1900 census Sister Katharine is born at sea, father born Spain, mother born England. Widow age 63, born May 1837. And it says she has had no children. 1900 US census  (Unlike the UK 1911 census which only asks about children born to the current marriage, the US 1900 one doesn't mention that, just says "Mother of how many children". ) Or did she not count Charles in that column because he was dead by then? Anyway, I wonder where she was really born! They did make a lot out of that "at sea" on the programme, but her birthplace seems to be different on each census.
