1. Henrietta Brown (c1811-bef 1856)

I know very little about my great great great grandmother. Her name is listed in the old pre-1855 parish records ten times -- at the time of her marriage and on the registrations of the births of nine of her 12 children.

I do not know when she was born, who her parents were, or exactly when she died. In 1841 Robert and Henrietta were living with their children in East Kilbride, Lanarkshire. Neither she or Robert Muir were listed with their children when the 1851 census was enumerated.

I know she married Robert Muir on 26 January 1828 in Avondale, Lanarkshire. I know she was alive in December 1850, which is the estimated birth year of her youngest son, Nathaniel. And that she was dead by the 19 August 1856, when her daughter, Jean Muir, died at the age of 18 years old of chronic inflammation of the brain. She was listed on the statutory death registration of Jean's death as deceased.
