He might have called himself Brown (as he doesn't seem to have been bap as a Bridges) after he left home, making him pretty invisible! lol

There is a Richard Brown burial 16 Jun 1844 at St John, Hoxton, age 17. Abode Old Street Road. I think the other name on this record might be who paid for the burial, but I'm not sure what it says. Lyns?

Could it be the doctor who certified? The names crop up on other pages.

It's possible. I'll look for baptisms for surname Brown.

I've not noted that on my tree. Not sure why but it would fit with Richard being born in 1827.

It could be Lyus. OH has some Lyus in his tree and it is often mistranscribed as Lyns or looks like Lyns when written.

Pallots marriage index also has a marriage to Isaac Brown in 1833 at Stepney. But it's a bit late for Richard and Sarah.

Sarah Williams-Isaac Brown

Update: I bought Sarah Jnr's marriage certificate to Charles Bower, her second husband. It lists John Browning as her father. His occupation was Foreman in Docks. Sadly it does not say deceased to provide any sort of potential time line.

I have found a marriage for a Sarah Browning to Thomas John Watts in 1854 in Wandsworth. There are 2 deaths for a Thomas John in 1854 and 1855 which would make her a widow by 1861.

I've not really investigated this turn of events but I wanted to update a post and not start a new one.

I've found baptisms for Richard, Sarah and Frederick, all in 1835 all at St Botolph Aldgate. John was a butcher though.

They live at Sun Court which is where Sarah, snr, is living with John Bridges at the baptism of their first child.

Both those deaths are for babies:

WATTS, THOMAS JOHN 0
GRO Reference: 1854 D Quarter in EAST LONDON UNION Volume 01C Page 26

WATTS, THOMAS JOHN 0
GRO Reference: 1855 J Quarter in SAINT GEORGE THE MARTYR SOUTHWARK Volume 01D Page 96

Each was registered for birth in the same district as the death and the top one above was mmn Thomas and the second mmn Fairman.

I haven't found any baptisms for children of TJ and Sarah Watts nor any birth registrations for Watts/Browning, except for a few not in London (I only looked for five years after the marriage though!). I see her second marriage wasn't until 1875. What censuses do you have this Sarah on?
