Canada Lookup Request / Re: Kenneth George Brown

Percy definitely left a will with all the proceeds going to Priscilla. It was administrated in London.

Canada Lookup Request / Re: Kenneth George Brown
« on: Saturday 13 January 24 14:56 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you for all your work!

Yes we have certificates/1921 census & 1939 Register information. We have parents & grandparents information too.

The problem was Priscilla did a runner after marrying Percy. She had the 2 children & then left. She never divorced him & when he died in 1962 on the Isle of Wight he left her everything. There is no marriage between Priscilla & Stanley Brown but she used his name & altered her name to Lilian. I'm not sure of the reasons behind this but it looks to me like she didn't want to be found.

The trouble we're having is finding information on Kenneth. He moved around so often it's making it difficult, plus the surname Brown doesn't help. He was definitely last seen in Toronto Western Hospital in 1956. He had several children to different women all over the world so as yet more may appear through DNA testing on Ancestry. (So far England, Australia & Canada)

Thank you again for all the help. Best wishes

Canada Lookup Request / Kenneth George Brown
« on: Friday 12 January 24 16:16 GMT (UK)  »
I'm trying to help a cousin locate information on her dad.

Kenneth George Brown was born 4/8/1929 in Hampstead, London to Stanley & Priscilla Lily (Lilian)
He went to Australia a couple of times but came back to the UK.

On 7/3/1956 he went to Canada, arriving at New Brunswick in April of 1956. A son was born in July 1956 but Kenneth absconded straight after the birth. No trace can be found of him after this date.

There are trees on Ancestry who have a D.O.D. for him in England but the birth information doesn't match & I think its wrong.

We have found documents for the years 1929 to 1956 but nothing after.
Could anyone point me in the right direction please? I've no idea about Canada records or where to start.

Thanks in advance to any helpers/

Thank you for the information and for taking the time to look.
I will keep it in mind although it's not quite the same, it could be him?

I have a Jules/Julius Christian Meinen who says he was born in Bern about 1846.

On his marriage in 1872 he lists his father as Jules Christian Meinen too. (This has been transcribed as Meiner)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
