Member Since: June 2006 Posts: 66 Send Message	Hi I am looking for information on a Charles William Brown/e that migrated to Australia with his parents around that time as he was born in 1837 he also had siblings. Father's name was Stephen Brown/e not sure of his wife's name as i have 2 here Hannah and Jane Mitchell both came out to Australia but not sure of the ship they came out on.
