Title: The Brown family, Westbury, Wilts
Post by: maggie360 on Sunday 20 March 16 10:28 GMT (UK)

I am looking for anyone else researching a long standing Westbury family. Head of the family (so far) is James Brown, born 1853, married Bertha Carr. Born 1853. They had 8 daughters, one of whom is my grandmother Edith Stella Brown, born1883, and one son Walter J Brown, born 1882.
I can trace through census reports where some of the girls went into service but then not sure after 1911 what to do?
It seems this family stayed around Westbury for many many generations and I wondered if anyone else was researching a different branch? Thanks!

Have you looked in Surname Interests tab, under Your Tools, below?

Also, have you put your surnames there?
