Wallace Nelson Brown - after years of suffering through the Great War
Treasured Memories
Of my dearly beloved husband
WALLACE NELSON BROWN
Passed away June 27th 1936
After Years of Suffering through the Great War
Aged 52 years
Rest Weary Heart.
The 1911 census has a Wallace Nelson Brown born circa 1884 at Battersea, London who was recorded in the Wandsworth district on the night of the census. There are no likely matches Wallace Browns on the Genes Re-united transcription of that census with a Norfolk connection or the 1901 and 1891 censuses.
On the 1901 census, the 17 year old Wallace N, born Battersea and a Railway Porter, was recorded at 18 Lambourne Road, Clapham, Wandsworth, London. This was the household of his widowed mother, Georgina Brown, (aged 59 and from Nth(?) Lavington, Wiltshire - recorded as living off own means). Living with her are her other children:-
Ellen S…………aged 38.…….born Nth(?) Lavington, Wilts………….Button Hole Machinist
Eva G…………..aged 35.…….born Westminster, London…………….Tailoress
On the 1891 census, the 7 year old Wallace N, (transcribed as Wallace W on the Genes Reunited site) was recorded at 49 Stanley Street, Battersea, His birthplace is simply listed as London. Head of the household is Georgina, aged 49 and already a widow. Georgina is shown as coming from Wiltshire. Other children living with her at this time were:-
Ellen S…………….aged 28.………born Wiltshire……….Tailoress
Eva S………………aged 25.………born London………..Tailoress
Wm S (Presumably William)..aged 19.…born London……..General Labourer
Ernest G(?)………..aged 17.………born London…………General Labourer
Edward……………aged 9.…………born London
The marriage of a Wallace Nelson Brown took place in the Wandsworth District in the January to March 1910 quarter. As the marriage took place prior to 1912, his spouses name isn’t recorded on the index, but using other searches its possible to confirm that his wife was an Edith Mary Heath. By the time of the 1911 census, Wallace Nelson Brown is in the same household as an Edith Mary Brown, born circa 1881 at Clapham..
There is no obvious medal index card for a Wallace Nelson or Wallace N Brown in the National Archive but possibly he could have been in the Navy.
