Dear Ernie,

Walter Brown was my great uncle, elder brother of my grandfather James Brown. I have a detailed account of his War Service and the circumstances of his death on the Somme in October 1916. I have a photograph of Walter with his wife, which I will be happy to share if you send me your email address. I have many questions for you too.

Sirus

Hello Sirius,

I hope that you are still on the go and on your family tree. As back in 2006 you posted an entry trying to find out about a Walter Brown who immigrated to Canada in 1911. I now its about ten years ago you did the post. I am hoping that you are still active as My name is Ernest Gray and I am working on the tree of my wife the Colvins. Walter Brown and his wife Annie were my wife's great grandparents. So I'm wandering to what interest you have on this branch or are you related in some way. As on my tree I haven't come across your name anywhere on the tree. I hope you are able to furnish me with this information. Thank you very much for your time.

I am trying to locate the immigration record of Walter Brown (born 6 Jan 1875) who emigrated from Edinburgh, Scotland, to Canada c1911 with his wife Annie Hughes Brown (born c1878) and their 3 children Margaret, Mildred and Walter. In 1915 their address was Chancey Avenue, North Vancouver, BC, Canada. Any help would be welcome.

I have just come across a relative who in 1956 held a Short Service Commision in the KOSB on the Empire List. If anyone could tell me what the Empire List was I would be most grateful. Thanks.

I am trying to find some background information on the Scots Grey's from the Normandy Beaches to VE Day prior to visiting the National Archives to read the Regimental War Diary. Can anyone recommend either suitable histories or web sites. Thanks.
