Title: My Late Grandfather
Post by: forfarlass on Sunday 26 July 15 19:44 BST (UK)

My late grandfather was a merchant seaman whilst living in Scotland.  When his first wife died in 1943, we are told, he then carried on his career, became a Captain in the |Merchant Navy, married a Canadian school teacher, and had another family.  Now the problems start....  We have no idea as to anything definite of his whereabouts after 1943

JOHN HUTCHISON BROWN
BORN 1905
MARRIED 1926
1ST WIFE DIED 1943
ONE CHILD - ELIZABETH
MERCHANT SEAMAN

The above all relates to Dundee Scotland

After that, we know he went to Halifax, Nova Scotia where he remarried a school teacher.   Sadly, I have no other information as to his Canadian wife's name, nor the details of the children they had

Thank you in advance of any help
