Ruth, only a very slim chance anyone who knows of them will see this. Have you tried Search Trees facility above to see if anyone shares these relatives?

You seem to have a lot of info already. What is it you are after?

PM from Ruth - have advised her to post back on here:

From Ruth
I would like to know if I have relatives living in the U.K.I am interested to learn of the history of my late father's family.My father travelled to Australia by ship,. He was eighteen years old .Four years later he married my mother(Laura Catherine Taylor)My father was killed at the fall of Malya.I have been unable to make contact with decendents from the Brown family,perhaps there are none living.This is my first attempt seeking information in this manner. perhaps you can help /

Ruth, I can see your problem - what a name to have to look for!

I tried Brown/Taylor births Grimsby and came up with what looks like a set of twins, but impossible to say if they are Charles' siblings:

Births Sep 1912 (>99%)
Brown Elsie M Taylor Grimsby 7a 1210
Brown John L Taylor Grimsby 7a 1210
