Don't know if this helps, but it shows another connection between the browns and wylies. My g.grandfather (the elusive robert Hamilton brown) lists on his WW1 soldier's record in 1915 as his address being 10 Walton Villas in liverpool. Which is where Alex's grandparents lived? Don't know why he didn't sign up in Derry.

Many thanks DoireM, this was fantastic to read! I could see that my grandfather was one of the mourners at the funeral and that he had a grand funeral. Thanks again for going to the trouble of looking this up.

Yes this was his father. I had hoped lobb junior would be on PRONI, but there is only his wife and his father. Thanks for looking.

Many thanks! This is the same and one man! Would you know how to find out how he died? I cannot access any details from the derry newspapers as I do not live in the country. This man is my great uncle and I wondered if there was any truth in him being killed?

Derry (Londonderry) / John Henry lobb 1921

Can anyone find out when john Henry lobb died. I have an uncle who has his medal from the boer war (he thinks he was in the hussars) but believes he was killed by the ira in derry. I can't find any record of this, but think he may have died in 1921? Many thanks

what a lot of information to digest! I expect you have already looked at the PRONI wills, there is a copy of john Brown's will (who died 29.1.1897) as there he lists his brothers as James, Robert, David and Alexander jar and his 3 sisters as Agnes, Margaret Oliver (nee Brown) and Jeannie. So Kipper 5, it appears we are related as our great grandparents were siblings!

Don't know if this rings any bells but my mother remembers her father (john/jack Hamilton brown,son of Robert Hamilton brown) visiting a cousin Alex in liverpool and an aunt Nellie when she was little (1940/50/60s). Still the mystery of what happened to Robert Hamilton brown.

From what I know robert hamilton's father was alexander brown, the same man who owned the foundry on foyle road. My mother and her brother remember this. His wife was Agnes ( there is also a daughter called Agnes as you can see in 1911 census for 7 foyle road).  Does this help?  I have no idea where R.H. Brown disappeared to after the war. My mother said that it was a forbidden subject!
