Brown information
« on: Wednesday 11 May 11 20:42 BST (UK) »
In researching my ancestry I am having difficulty following two individuals -- their place of birth, ancestors, etc.
Joseph W. Brown married Lucy A. Brown in Madelay, Salop in 1Q 1925.  The Browns enter my genealogy several times but I have no idea where Joseph came from.
Thomas Brown born abt. 1867, d 1Q 1900 in Middlesex, married Frances Sarah Summers in 4Q 1894 at Burton-upon-Trent, Staff.  I also do not know Thomas Brown's previous history.
If you can help with these, I would be most appreciative.  It is somewhat difficult to trace some information from Canada.

That's right.  That will be my next approach if I can't get ancestry info without the marriage certificate.  We visited Joe and Lucy in 1953 in Dawley, Salop.  I believe their daughter, Marjorie, married Donald Summers, son of Frederick Summers in the early 1950's.

No, I don't.  I'll likely need to start off by buying the marriage certificate.  By posting on Roots, I am hoping that some of the Brown/Summers descendants might respond as current (20th century) info is hard to get without personal contacts.
Thanks, Canada529

A good way to make surname connections with other members is to enter your surname interests
in the Surname Interests Table (SIT), and to check there whether others are researching these names. 

This can be found at http://surname.rootschat.com/ , there is a link to it at the top of each Rootschat page.

               

The more people who enter their surnames, the more chance there will be of making a connection!

There's a Joseph William Brown, b 1898 in Shropshire, living in Madeley in the 1901 census.  Father - Joseph, father's occupation - butcher.  RG13/2524/99/38.

If you get the marriage certificate, you should be able to confirm whether this is your man.

I don't know.  I have not been able to trace the "Brown connection" to my own tree back that far as yet.
