Find Ancestors

Hello Genes Community, Buce from Down under (Penrith, NSW, Australia)
I would like to try and find information about my Great Grandfather Frank Brown (and ideally connect with famil)
The woes of being a brown :-(

Frank was born in 1856
Son of Samuel Brown and Martha Cocking
Born Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, England
Married Frances Isabel Walls 7th May 1883
Children
Myrtle Frances Brown born 1883 (do not have much on Myrtle)
Colin Victor Brown born 1889
Harold Vincent Brown born 1893 (Harold is my grandfather)

Would love to connect with family and find out more about my family from England, particularly Myrtle

Thanks
Bruce
Penrith, NSW, Australia
Emigrated to Australia in 1913 with son Harold after Frances died

I see, on the 1901 census, the family were living in Leeds.
There is this marriage on Free BMD:
Myrtle F. Brown married Frederick C. Flowers, June quarter 1912, Leeds. (9b 642)

Thanks Margaret yes I think that probably is Myrtle, Frank was a draper as well. Probalby worthy of ordergin the marriage certificate

Could any of these be Myrtle's children?

Interesting quite possibly Myrtles children given the Brown name is there
In the census iformation Harold Vincent is my grandfather

Hi Bruce,

With regard to the births shown above, in all cases the mothers maiden name was Brown.

Hope I didn't confuse you.

Hi Folks I received a box of information today which was owned by an aunt who died earlier this year and this Confirms Mytrle Brown marrying Fred Flowers.
Alhtough she semed to be called agnes which confuses.
Will take me a while to go though the box but an exciting new development in my research.
