Sarah (“Sally”) BROWN
Set As Default Person -
Name Sarah (“Sally”) BROWN Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born 24 Oct 1891 Fenton, Staffordshire, England
- Date from death registration and from 1939 register
Maiden name shown when her children were born was Brown, but no birth registrations for a Sall(ie/y) Brown. Although now more often used as a name in its own right, Sally is really a pet form of Sarah.
There is a birth registration for a Sarah who fits well:
GRO ref: Brown, Sarah q4 1891 Stoke T. RD 6b 250; GRO online index shows mother's maiden name as Brunt.

Location from local (Staffs) BMDThe 1911 census shows that by then Alfred and Mary had had 12 children, 8 of whom were still living. However, only 8 children are found in any of the censuses with them, including their first Alfred, who died before the second was born. It seems probable that only 7 were living and 5 had died. I have found deaths to fit the 4 not in censuses and the first Alfred, but with a common surname like Brown one could apply to someone else and one of the children have lived with other family members, hence their absence from the family census entries.
