The Brown Family
Sarah Cope married Archibald Brown on 24 Apr 1848 at St Bride's, Fleet St, London. Birth dates for the children are approximate, being based on various censuses at present: Esther first appears in 1871 as a 'tie maker' but has not so far been found in 1861
Also in 1871 Elizabeth, aged 19, is surnamed 'Hill' but no marriage is yet identified. Archibald was working as a labourer and William as an errand boy in 1871. A 2nd Elizabeth aged 5 months in 1871 must be a granddaughter rather than another daughter and has not been found in 1881.
Archibald and Caroline were living with their mother at 79 Cornwall Rd in 1881, Archibald, 26, working as a coal porter and Caroline (b.Hoxton/ St Leonard's, Shoreditch) as a book folder.
If William's age is correct he can perhaps be identified with William E. Brown, a milk carman aged 24 living in Lambeth with wife Emma, 25, and children, William 2 and Charles 8 mths.
