Browns of King Township, 1861

Joseph Brown, plasterer, his wife Harriet and their large family are listed in King Twp in the 1861 census above.  Immediately following Joseph is William Brown,also a plasterer, his wife Mary, and their son William all born England. 

The Browns lived on the 7th concession of King Twp and William Brown is shown in the index as locating in 1851.  The Peacocks lived on the same concession, but farther south and on land shown to belong to a Cornelius  O'Shea.  You can see that the lot is divided and there is a small town lot on the concession road which we believed Thomas Peacock lived on when they first came to Canada in 1865 or 66.  They did not own the land and are shown as renting in the 1871 census.
