Simon is the 6th one. Played by buster in the original series.

The character of Buster is Dermot's mate and NOT one of Mrs. Brown's six kids - which are...

1. CATHY - her one-and-only-daughter and sparring-partner...

AND her "boys" who all appear in the stage-shows/TV-series/Movie(s)...
2. RORY - the gaytastic "special" one...
3. MARK - the "sensible" one...
4. TREVOR - the priest and therefore "saintly" one...
5. DERMOT - the led-astray-by-Buster "foolish" one...

PLUS...
6. SIMON - the "prodical" one who she includes in all her mentions of having "six" children but only majorly featured in the original series of novels/books ("The Mammy"/"The Chisslers"/"The Granny") on which much of the "Mrs. Brown" folklore/history is based. In said books, Simon if-i-recall-right, headed off to find his own way in the world only to die a sad and lonely death homeless on the streets of London (and so is "gone but very much not forgotten" in Mrs. brown's eyes and heart!).

You are thinking of Frankie. He was the son who died and is never mentioned. Simon was Dermot's twin. In the books & film she had 7 children.

The 6th child is Simon. In The Original Series he was only in the first 2 episodes - the Last Wedding pts 1 & 2 and was played by Danny O'Carroll (Buster Brady). He wears a hearing aid, has a bad stutter and works as a porter at the local hospital.
Buster doesn't appear until episode 3.
also in the first 2 episodes Dermot is played by a different actor and Paddy Houlihan plays Trevor.
