1908 birth in Ontario
« on: Friday 22 March 13 16:42 GMT (UK) »
I am not very experienced at digging around Canadian records, so I was wondering if somebody with a bit more experience could help me.  The 1911 census shows a 3 year old Thomas A Brown living with parents Charles and Bessie.  However, I can't seem to find a matching birth record.  I have found birth records on familysearch for a couple of twin brothers born in 1912, but nothing for the 1st child.  Has anyone got any ideas?

The address for the Browns at the birth of Charles Arthur was 42 Myrtle Street which was also the address of the Browns (Charles Martin Brown and Bessie Jane Nicholson) recorded on the 1912 birth of William Wallace and Victor Branwell.

Mick - thanks for that - seems like that record is just not on familysearch.  Also, I've had a good look at the census form and I think it definitely says Thomas.  But I assume that the census enumerator has done all the writing, so I suppose it must just be written down wrongly.

Cheers - Roger

Cosmac - have you made a typo there?  The twin of William Wallace Brown is John Frederick Brown according to familysearch.

There is a Bramwell Victor Brown in the family, but he would be the children's uncle.

the ancestry.ca entry shows Brown with John Frederick above it (Missed that part) but beside Brown, in brackets is (Victor Bramwell)

link to another site on Charles Martin Brown
www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,640661.0.html

http://automatedgenealogy.com

1911 Census/Toronto East/4 Toronto, page 18

42 Myrtle St.
Arthur W. Brown, head
Clare E. Brown, wife
Lellian Brown
Brimwell Brown

Bushell Ave

All the others immigrated in what looks like 1905
They are all on the same page with a price family listed between these 2 Brown families.

I am going to post this just in case you don't have it as it is related to the overall family.

from the site at Library and Archives Canada that I posted on the other thread
www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/cef/index-e.html

Leonard Bramwell Brown
Reg. # 343292
b. 17/02/1895, Bedford England
Drafted Under Military Service Act 1917
3 M.D. 72nd (Queen's) Battery

address - 22 Carlisle St., Kingston, Ont.
Military Act and Service # P.C. 835578
Methodist
Druggist
single - crossed out and married written in
Next of Kin - father, Mr. Victor Brown crossed out and wife, Laura Brown written in
Address of NOK - Napanee, Ont RR5, crossed out and 22 Carlisle St., Kingston written in

Medical exam Toronto, Ont, Oct 15, 1917
Calling up Kingston, Ont, January 2, 1918

It would appear that he married between Oct 15, 1917 and January 2, 1918.

Also, thought I would mention that the 1921 census is due to be released sometime after June this year. It will be some time before it is transcribed and available but something to look for in the future.

Are Harriet, Charles Martin, Letitia and Bramwell children of Victor and ?

What is the relationship to Arthur W. Brown?
