Mutthouse & Janette on this site have been discussing their ancestor James Braithwaite Brown son of the above who left new Zealand and went England and married Clara Samuels
My connection is from a sister to James - Isabella Brown - she married ? William Nickless had three children, married John William Brookes - they had child Bessie my Great Aunt - then she married ?Lowery no children.
Brother to James - Fredrick Gilbert Brown -never married - sister to James, Margaret known as Margarita (Rita)
I would like to know more about the England connection especially the Braithwaite side.
Can you confirm the Browns were shipbuilders on the Clyde?
I am in touch with a cousin a granddaughter of Isabella Brown and will get more info and pass it on if you are interested?
