Sorry Jason,wrong Browns.We're the N.E.England Newcastle lot. Great-grandad William was a fish and game dealer,like his father before him.His dad,my gr-gr-grandfather was Thomas,and born in Herrington,Co. Durham.
Good idea to start your own threads.

Hi Jason

Welcome to the boards

I do not think your Browns are connected as Bronwens were from the UK.

If you need some help why not start a thread of your own giving as much detail as you know

Yes,for the last 2yrs,but no luck other than what I've already discovered.Perhaps noone else is researching the Browns,much to my chagrin,but I live in hope.

Have you tried putting the names in the search trees to find any contacts?

My gr-grandfather born 1853 Newcastle,died 1925 Woodside Green,Essex.He was a fish and game dealer,and am anxious to find and contact any cousins. My gr-aunts were Edith,Mary,Frances and Blanche(Muff).My gr-uncles,William Stanley,and Algernon James.Algernon was killed on the Somme 1916,no issue. Gr-grandad William also owned a house on Rodborough Common,Stroud, Glos.Would be grateful if anyone has any info.Mary married her cousin James Albert Mann,nephew of William's wife,my gr-gran Mary Ann Mann.
