Hi Bob
Sorry can't send you an individual message as I have only just joined RootsChat and apparently need a few posts before I can do this on this website.

We live in Blenheim, Marlborough, NZ  and my other siblings live in Christchurch (I grew up there as well).  We lost our Howie heritage as our Mum remarried and would not talk about it.  It seems the Howie brothers didn't make old bones!  My older brother Brian is 65 but he was known as Brown as well.

Would love to exchange information so please keep in touch.

Regards
Phil Brown (P.M. Brown)

Hi Bob
Alexander Hutchinson Howie is my grandfather too. I am the 4th child of his son Norman Blackwood Howie who died in Christchurch in 1956 aged 40.  My mother remarried and we took the name of Brown.  I would love to know what part of NZ you are in.
Tomorrow we will be in Sale, Victoria checking family history.  What was your father's name?
The only cousin I have met so far is Russell Howie whose father was King and they lived in Wellington.  I have the complete work record and death certificate of Alex Howie who was a sea captain for the Union Steamship Company.  Would love to make contact.
Regards
Phil
