Hi all

how he is tied to Bray i dont know other than Biddy seems to have been his girlfriend.
In his will he mentions the Browne family as well as one or two others.

Browne family

I thought it would be a nice little story to include in their family history

Bridget married James McDonnell in 1920 with Ellen Browne as her witness
