Hello, could someone take a look at the 1939 and 1911 census for Brown Parkin, born December Q 1881 Guisborough area. Parents James and Elizabeth. I have all the parents details.

Brown marries Florence Suckling December Q 1910 Samford area which is in Suffolk. This is the 1911 census for Florence who is staying with her sister.

1911 census Ipswich

Frank Adams 38 Thrashing machine erector born Wilby
Edith 31 Ipswich
Arabella 7 Ipswich
Catherine 4 Ipswich
Florence 1 Ipswich
Florence Parkin 22 visitor Ipswich

I can't find Brown on the 1911 census.

The above is off family search

Brown dies 1961 and Florence dies 1971 Samford area.

Thank you.

It says on the image that Brown is a Pensioner, Royal Navy. Could he have been at sea in 1911?

Thanks Kath, Brown may well have been at sea which could be why Florence was at her sisters.

On the image it gives his dates of service on various ships. It looks like one of the periods he is on service is from 8th December 1910 to 4th March 1912.

I will try to send you the image but I can't promise as I usually leave anything like sending images to my son but he is abroad at the moment. I'll give it a try though.

Thanks Kath and safc, I've just come back, I got distracted with other ancestors. Kath, I hope you manage to send the image, let's hope I manage to retrieve it, not 100% how to do it.
