My maternal grandmother was Lucy Annie Summers.  The Summers and Brown lines intersect on a number of occasions.  Her sister, Frances Summers married Thomas Brown (b. 1869 Wellington, Shropshire).He was the son of William Lester Brown and Mary.  One of Thomas' and Frances' daughters, Lucy Brown married Joseph William Brown (son of Joseph Brown b. 1859 Bridgnorth, Shropshire and Julia Morgan b. 1860 Wellington, Shropshire).  That is the extent of my Brown research to date.

That's correct.  My great grandfather is Richard Dixon Summers.  His daughter Frances Sarah (b. 1868 Dawley) would have ben my great aunt; Lucy Annie (b. Oct 19, 1874 Dawley) is my grandmother.  Winifred (b. June 9, 1907 Dawley) is my mother.
The Summers and Browns intermarried more than once.  Frances Sarah Summers married Thomas Brown (b. 1869 Wellington, Salop); I believe he was the son of William Lester Brown (b. 1840 Staffordshire).  They had a number of children, one of whom -- Lucy A. (b. May 9, 1904 Saltley, Birmingham) married on 7 Mar 1925 Joseph William Brown (b. Oct 1897 Madeley, Salop).  Joseph William was the son of Joseph Brown (b. 1859 Bridgnorth, Salop).  I have been unable to trace the Browns back any further than Joseph Brown and William Lester Brown.  Another note a daughter ofJoseph William Brown and Lucy A. Brown is Marjorie.  In the early 1950's Marjorie Brown married Donald Summers (in Newport, Mon.) who was ther son of Frederick Summers, brother to Lucy Annie and Frances Sarah.

Hi
Do you believe that all the browns are related?
frances Sarah Summers = m= Thomas Brown
Thomas Brown born 1869 wellington shrop father William Lester Brown b 1840 staffordshire
Have you found them on any census and what make you think that Thomas Browns father is who you say?

Their daughter Lucy A Brown =m=  Joseph William Brown 1925 madley shrop Father -Joseph Brown b 1859 do you have this family on the census?

I have not been able to connect the Brown families as yet (that is, William Lester, father of Thomas, and Joseph, father of Joseph William.  I do have the census records for William Brown (Lester not on the census records) for 1871, 1881, and 1891 and I do have thge marriage certificate for Thomas and Frances which lists William Lester Brown as Thomas' father.  Also Thomas and Frances named their eldest child, Harold Lester Brown.  I have the 1891 census for Joseph and Julia Brown, parents of Joseph William.
