Mrs. Elizabeth Marmion - Tombstone Tuesday
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
&
"HOWDeeeeeeeee"
Died 18 January, 1865
Elizabeth Barclay Evans Brown,
wife of Henry Marmion of The Island, co. Cork, Ireland.
Born in 1812 she was almost 53 years old. She & Henry had 5 children I know of, surviving to adults. Henry went on to remarry and have more children. Philip Marmion, a lovely gentleman in Surrey, who I correspond with, is descended from this 2nd family. Henry was his Grandfather.
Elizabeth was born to not yet Rev., John Brown & Elizabeth Barclay Evans. When Elizabeth was born, her mother died shortly after on 19 June, 1812. She was buried at St. Anne's Church gravyard in Dublin.
Unfortunately the gravyard was paved over and no tombstones survive, the Church tells me. I was hoping to have a photo of her stone, alas!
Her father Rev. John Brown, went on to marry again to Anna McCartney in 1815. She also a Scriven descendant. Anna will be mother to little baby Elizabeth until she marries Henry Marmion, 23 years later. Then Anna dies in 1839. Living to 1 year after she sees Elizabeth wed.
John married a 3rd time to Margaret Simpson and will have more children with her.
Rev. John Brown, father of Mrs. Elizabeth Marmion, is buried at his church, St. Mary's, Leicester, England.
Photo above of Rev. John Brown hangs in his Church St. Mary's. I am indebted to the lovely Mrs. Virginia Wright, Historical advisor, for sending me this & several items about the Church.
Dr. William Barclay Brown Scriven, brother of Jane
Yes, buried down in this whole story it comes to GGgreatgrandma Jane
Dr. Scriven named for;
William - his Grandfather William Scriven

Yeah! Lots of names get confusing, but if you can follow any of this - good on you!
Hope to find little Elizabeth's grave in France one day and photo it for my collection.
Happy Trails, KATIEBIRD
