Find Ancestors

I have a William Brown born 1895c possibly a twin with John Alex Northumberland
ancestry have a US WW1 Attestation paper 1914-1918 William Brown born Newcastle Northumberland He was in Northumberland in 1911 with his brothers
I was hoping some one could look at this to find out if it is my William his parents were James Brown And Margaret Patterson who died 1904 & 1906


Thank you

No need ever to be unsure about birth info. Use the GRO site

The William Brown with twin John Alexander was born JAS 1894 in Rothbury district..............NOT Newcastle

Purely on the reg district
BROWN, JOHN ALEXANDER PATTERSON
GRO Reference: 1894 S Quarter in ROTHBURY Volume 10B Page 437


BROWN, WILLIAM PATTERSON
GRO Reference: 1894 S Quarter in ROTHBURY Volume 10B Page 437

So looks like twins

The Canadian attestion is this one

William Brown
Birth Date: 26 Nov 1895
Birth Location: Newcastle Northumberland, England
Residence: Elkin Alta
Relative: Frank Brown of Newcastle Northumberland,England
Relationship: Father
Regiment Number: 736680



So wrong father

I'm not seeing the US WW1 attestation you mention on Ancestry.

EDIT:

Oh, it's Canadian, not US ??? Just seen Shirley's post above.

Rothbury is only about 25 miles from Newcastle. It is quite possible that William would put his POB as Newcastle as people would have heard of it.

Thank you for your help I wasn't looking in the right place for the births I did check GRO That's my first stop these days

Thank you for checking the Military record

As William is an apprentice gardener in 1911, this is just a wild stab in the dark. The DOB of this man also would fit your William's birth reg.
