Welcome to Roots Chat, Tara. I think Treetotal/Carol was the one related to your ancestors, so hopefully she will see your post.

Hi, welcome to RootsChat

So since your biological brother may still be living, people here may be able to give you general tips and hints how to search for adoptees born/adopted out in that area.
If you are able to obtain a name, these tips may be helpful.

Glad it worked out. Hanna's obituary has that same address in Brooklyn. https://www.newspapers.com/article/news-and-record-obituary-for-hanna-chris/184877229/

There is a Gustav Hansen in the NYC death index who died in Brooklyn in 1950. The transcription of the age and date is off from the image. The image is a little hard to read, but my best guesses are died at age 68 on 11 Aug. 1950.

The England death index has Eveline Marjory C Cowen born 13 Oct. 1901 and died July 1985, so that seems to fit.
