Hello all, I'm struggling to find my wife's great, great grandfathers parent's. So the information I already have: Arthur Edward Brown was born in abt 1886 in Wiltshire or Somerset. He married May (or could be Mabel) Selway (b 1884 Cardiff) they had three children; Arthur Brinley Brown (1910 - 1917), Veronica Daisy Brown (1911 - 1997, my wife's fathers mother) and Dorothy Selway Brown (1913 - ?) I did find a birth record for a Arthur Edward Brown, born 1886 in Clutton, Somerset with his mothers maiden name of Wiltshire but I'm unsure if this is correct. Any help in this matter would be gratefully received . Kind Regards

Do you have him on the various censuses? What birthplace is given - You give Wiltshire & Somerset
Have you bought the marriage cert to see who he names as his father? The marriage was 1909
The Welsh 1911 have 2 Arthur Browns married to a Mabel & both b Wiltshire - which one is yours?

Arthur Brinley Browns mmn is shown as Senway
The other has a son Walter Henry b Oxfordshire & mmn was Walter
Veronica Daisy’s mmn was Delway on GRO online
Dorothy’s is Selway

Hi all, thank you all, Carole W, Cas and Ladyhawk, for your help and research, the information you have supplied looks very much like the correct line to follow, but I agree, obtaining a marriage certificate would be the correct way forward to confirm your findings. Again , thank you for replying and helping out. Many kind regards, Daiwalker
