Annie Johnston was born Jun 17, 1870 in Coagh, Co. Tyrone, Ireland to Andrew Johnston and Nancy Wallace. I have that record.
The next time she appears is on 1911 Salford, Lancashire, England census reportedly married to Robert Bernard Keen, with children George Harry Brown, John Brown, and Robert Keen. She claims to have been married 6 yr. in this marriage with 2 children, one living, one deceased. Descendants do not think she was ever legally married to Robert.
At any rate, research finds the Birth of son George Harry Brown to Annie Johnston and George Harry Brown, Sr. on Mar 14, 1895 in Hulme, Manchester although I do not have his birth record. I do not have Annie’s marriage record. There is also the birth of Annie Johnston Brown Sept 29, 1891 in Hulme, Manchester. I do not have her actual birth record. There is the birth of Joseph abt 1899 and his death abt 1902. I do not have his actual birth or death.
George dies Nov 14, 1899 in Salford. Annie Brown is on the 1901 census as a widow with Annie age 9, George Harry age 6, and Joseph age 2. Then there Is the birth of a son John Edward Brown on Dec 5, 1902 in Salford. I don’t have his baptism. Next is Robert Brown born Sept 20, 1906 and his baptism Oct 18, 1906 in Stowell Memorial Church. The father is not named, only Annie, so son Robert may or may not belong to Robert Bernard Keen. There is a son Frank Keen born and died in 1910 for whom I do not have the actual records. Which brings us back to 1911.I am told that Annie died 1932 in Salford and that Robert died 1935. I cannot find their deaths. There is family story here but not much documentation. I would like to find the marriage record for Annie and George Harry a.k.a. Henry Brown about 1890 and to find Annie’s death but I do not know whether it would be under Keen or Brown or Johnston or even Johnson.
Thanks for any help.
