Miriam Brown

[Rodger]

I am looking for any information on Miriam W. Brown who was born on September 29, 1870 and died on October 26, 1946. She lived in Ontario Canada and is buried in Park Lawn Cemetery in Toronto with Art and Dorothy Hill  and Marion Hiscott. I believe she was living in Toronto in 1942 possibly at 68 Tranky or Tranby Ave.

Do you know the relationship between Miriam Brown and the Hill or Hiscott family or is that the information you are looking for?

Do you know whether Brown was her maiden name or her married name?

[Rodger]

Unfortunately I don't. My guess is that is her maiden name and
she wasn't married. But it is only a guess because there is no mention of a husband on her gravestone. She is buried in the grave with my great uncle Art Hill. He and his wife had no children. The other person in the plot is Marion Hiscott my uncle's wife's sister who was never  married. I remember going to my uncles often and there never was a Miriam Brown there.

I may have found evidence that Brown may have been Miriam's married name. On a travel document to the states Dorththy Hiscott's brother lists a Mrs. M.W. Brown. Unfortunately I don't know why her name is on the document. This is not his wife and his wife's maiden name wasn't Brown.

Hi Rodger,

Dorothy's brother Richard Hiscott's border crossing in 1942 where it lists Mrs. M.W. Brown, 68 Tranby Ave.......just before that it appears to read Aunt

Glad you confirmed what I thought it said.  Those images are so hard to decipher sometimes.  Could also be related to wife Ethel.  Not sure what her maiden name reads as.

[Rodger]

On the back of his travel document its lists his wife's maiden name as Hawes born in London England March 29, 1907.

Take a look at ancestry. They have a Miriam W Brown, born about 1871, travelling from Quebec to Southampton in 1929. Also a Eustace O Brown on the ship. Both teachers. However, they have not given the same proposed adress in England, so there may be no connection between them.
