By the way you can get subscriptions to digital versions of the West Australian for after July 2004 until present day for $8 for 24 hour access. https://archive.thewest.com.au/sign_up1.php?sc=0

 I think only Dorothy Phyllis Mary Brown is in that category.   But hang on until tomorrow morning as I have been accumulating my queries for that time period and will take out a subscription and pm you any results.

cheers,

Thanks to all for your information. I'd only intended to do an hour's family history last night but with all the new info you provided I was up till midnight. This morning I see that there is even more!

I have the a copy of the marriage entry from scotlandspeople and I'm convinced it is the correct couple.  Margaret Brown (nee Wishart)'s mothers maiden surname was Blaik so a child with that as a middle name is likely to be the right one. I'll follow that up tonight.  Thank goodness for middle names!

I only met auntie Maggie once in the early 1960's  but I got the impression they had done quite well for themselves in Australia so it would not surprise me if they returned to the UK several times to visit.

Best wishes,

Jack

I found some death notices for Dorothy Brown in West Australian Oct 2006.
Can I post the images here?  (I think I have seen others do this).  Is the rationale that we can post the images but not type the names as the names on the image will not show up in a search?

I have been meaning to ask about this ...   :-\

Dear All,

Just a note of thanks for all your help. I have today received a letter from my first cousin, once removed, the last surviving child of Thomas and Maggie Brown! Considering how long it took me to find some branches of my FitzSimons family I can't believed you've tracked down this branch in only a couple of weeks. Well done all of you!
