General Notes: Husband - James Brown

---

He was a blacksmith by trade.
He died in 1868. [HMC 1909, 699] But this is questionable. His wife's second marriage was in 1866 - and divorce was unusual in those days. And her second husband is also said to have died in 1868 - quite a coincidence. The compiler suspects that the source made a mistake and applied the year of death of the second husband to the first.
