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.

Hi Bruce,

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

Hope I didn't confuse you.

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)

Researching:
Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)

Hello Genes Community, Buce from Down under (Penrith, NSW, Australia)

The woes of being a brown :-(

Frank was born in 1856

Married Frances Isabel Walls 7th May 1883
Children
Myrtle Frances Brown born 1883 (do not have much on Myrtle)

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

Thanks
