    I think it will be very difficult to trace his birth as there are loads of
    William Browns born in London in that year (from St. Catherines House).

    St. Catherine's House references, all born in Newcastle T.:  Rose Amy,
    Apr-Jun 1875,  10b 75;  Mary Jane, Jan-Mar 1879,  10b 111;  Charlotte,
    Jan-Mar 1881, 10b 103.

    MARRIAGE:   Registration District of Newcastle Upon Tyne at The Parish
    Church of St. Andrews.  No 8.  Married Feb 18th 1875, William Brown, age
    25, Bachelor, Upholsterer, of Percy Street, son of William Brown who
    was also an Upholsterer;  and  Mary Jane Smithson, age 17, Spinster, of
    Percy Street, daughter of James Smithson who was a Tin-Smith.  George
    Nevil and Jane Ann Pearson were the witnesses.  (Perhaps Mary Jane's
    mother married again??)

    DEATH:   St. Catherine's House ref, 10b 93, Jun 1908, William Brown, age
    56 @ N/T.  I don't have certificate but the age ties up and it's also before
    1915 when he was noted as deceased on his son William's marriage certificate.

OCCUPATION:
    Master Upholsterer

    1. Family Records

    Seems to have later reversed his name and been known as William
