ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Trying to find family of Joseph Brown and Liilian Brown, their parents were Henry William Brown and Mabel nee Evans. Joseph & lillian were born in the 1920s in Greenwich although the parents married on the Isle of Dogs [Cubitt Town] circa 1915. I believe Joseph married Mary Warren and moved to Birmingham in the 1950s, he had at least 2 sons. I believe that Lillan stayed in south London after her marriage, I also believe that there were a number of children.

Any help gratefully received.

Good question, I have plenty of pictures of him but alas no name? I only have info about her family background.

I would say that she was the Lillian F Brown born March 1923 and her brother was Joseph W Brown born Sep 1920, I believe most of the rest of the family died young. Some of the family were born on the Island.

The only other info that i have is that they remained in South London area and must have married sometime around WW2.

I have plenty of the family background going back circa 1800 -1850 but this is the first serious attempt at looking to the present.

Got any thoughts on the matter? All thoughts/info welcome.
