Hi Eda

Sorry - I don't have any references to the name Brown associated with the Birkenhead Gypsies.

Many of the community who lived there in the mid- to late-19th century had origins in the eastern counties - Norfolk/Suffolk/Essex. In those counties they did travel with/intermarry with some Browns - but as far as I'm aware no Browns went with them to Cheshire/Lancashire.
