United States of America / Brown . New York —— Foxborough, Massachusetts
« on: Wednesday 06 January 21 18:32 GMT (UK)  »
Hello!
Dear friends, I am trying to find relations or descendants of Cuthbert James Brown. He was born on 31st May 1887 in Wellington, Somerset, England. He arrived in New York on 4th April 1914 on the Mauretania from Liverpool.
On the 4th October 1915 he married Florence Alice Coles in Queens, New York.
In 1925 he lived at 54 Chestnut Avenue, Pelham, Westchester, New York.
Between 1930 and 1935 they moved to Foxborough, Massachusetts .

They had 2 children, Nancy Elizabeth Brown 14.11.1916 Mount Vernon, New York.
and Dorothy E. Brown.

The reason for my search is to find descendants of a particular person from 1812.

Any help or advice greatly received.

Erik.

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Willans Rothwell / Hunslet

Hello dear friends

On the off chance someone can help.....

My 3 x Great Grandfather was John Gothard Willans born 9th July 1802 in Hunslet. Died 1866 Hunslet.

His father was John Willans born 1764/ 1765.

He married Sarah Gothard in St Peters Leeds 17 November 1799.

My problem is who is this John Willans?

I have two most likelys at the moment.....

John Willans whose father is William Willans born 1735 ish

Or

John Willans whose father is Valentine Willans born 1737 ish

I must admit Valentine Willans 1735 seems most likely as I believe John (1765) had a son called Valentine in 1804.

This would seem strong evidence of course if correct but I have also read that Valentine 1737 had another son John in 1774 which would not make sense !!

So its a long shot I know...... but just in case there are thousands of Willans enthusiasts out there.

Many thanks in advance

Peter Schofield
