"Barbara Brown" born 1908 father "William Stanley Alston Brown"
« on: Tuesday 19 November 19 23:15 GMT (UK) »
I am after information on "Barbara Brown" born 1908 father "William Stanley  Alston Brown"
Barbara was born in Bristol there is a lot of information on her father not much on Barbara.

Barbara was a Golf Champion and got her pilot certificate  she may have used it for the second
World war.

Not very clear exactly what type of info you are looking for - her ancestry or her adult life

Ancestry -  Have you looked for her birth on freebmd  www.freebmd.org.uk

Have you looked for her on the 1911 census - if you don't have a subscription to Ancestry/FindMyPast you can use www.familysearch.org

Freebmd can be used to find any marriage for her parents & Barbara

She is not mentioned here unless she is under her married name

There is a marriage in California:
Barbara Jorgensen age 68 (born about 1908) on 1st May 1976 in Marin to Robert M Blalack
 There are other Barbara Jorgensens around.

This is a death, which does not fit with the name for her Father that you have given, and that she was born in Cleveland:
 U.S., Social Security Applications and Claims Index, 1936-2007
   Barbara Blalack [Barbara Jorgensen]  [Barbara Brown]
Born 5th March 1908  at Cleveland Ohio   
died 10th January 1988  Claim Date:   7 Feb 1973  Father:Edward Brown  Mother:Helen Goodale

Just wondered about coincidences.

Added:
Completely wrong parents, amazing coincidences
Marriages September quarter 1904   
William Stanley A Brown    Keynsham   
Florence Mary P Jones    Keynsham

IGI has a Carl Vilhelm Albert Jorgensen born 17th June 1917, in Danish censuses, which would make him 9 years younger than her.  He lives in Udbygade, which is part of Copenhagen, so correct area.
