I would be very grateful for any information about the life and family of Major Percy Brown who was Chairman of the Greyhound Racing Board at White City and retired around 1872. He was in Devon during the war and started his career as a junior on a Manchester paper

Should that be 1972..?

Have a look on Google.
There is even a jigsaw with his picture.

Re: Major Percy Brown. He, his wife Jean, and three children were living at Shepperton, Middlesex between 1969 and 1981. The oldest boy was called Quentin but I can't remember the names of the others. Also, no idea what happened to them after the latter date.
