Brown . . .Its a bit like looking for that proverbial needle!

I am looking for living direct descendants of William - Master Brickmaker. The line is Cyril Whittington Brown to Eric Cyrcil BROWN. I don't know what became of Eric. He was living in Reigate till outbreak of WW2 & then vanished from the electoral registers, although his wife lived in the family home till mid to late 1950's, and then disappeared. Their daughters were given 1 first name each which makes searching even harder!

Eric and his aunt Ada Rebecca BROWN ran the buisness to its demise circa 1938. The brick and pottery works occupied 2 sites at New ponds, Earlswood and by Mackrells, Pendleton Road, Earlswood.
