15. Harriet Brown Died 8 April 1911

Attached is a copy of the death certificate for Harriet Brown.  Key information from the certificate:
Place of Death; 41 Ettrick Street
Age; 74 years (born c1836/7)
Occupation; Widow of Richard Walter Brown, Journeyman Baker
Cause of death; Hemiplegia, Senile debility.  Certified by GR Young MD
Informant; Kate Brown, daughter in attendance, 41 Ettrick St Bromley

This information is important as it confirms that the husband/father in this family is Richard Brown, not Robert Brown.  So, it is now almost certain that the family Richard and Harriet Brown plus children can be pinned down for:
1911 Death (Harriet)
1911 Census (Harriet and Kate)
1902 Emigration (Walter)
1901 Census (Harriet, Walter and Kate)
1891 Census - nil found
1881 Census (Robert, Harriet, Frederick, Martin, Kate, Lottie).  Although the information is odd (names, dates discrepancies it is likely that this is the same Richard and Harriet Brown plus family)
1871 No clear record
1867 Birth (Frederick)
1861 Census (Richard, Harriet and Henry (Walter))
