Hi Wendy Unfortunately I Cannot help with your query but I have another Brown of Deloraine to throw into the mix. Mary Ann Brown was born 18 July 1831 and Baptised in 1834, daughter of William, Splitter, of Deloraine and Ann. I have the marriage and death for "my" Mary Ann but I have been looking for more on her birth for years. Other references to my Mary Ann refer to her as being Free and born in the colony. I do not know if this 1834 baptism is her but the occupation of her father fits in with that of the man she married. If you come across anyone who fits in with this baptism, I would be overjoyed to hear from you. Good luck with all your enquiries. Brown is a nightmare name for family historians. regards Sharon Finn (In Sydney) > To: aus-tasmania@rootsweb.com > Date: Sat, 17 Jan 2015 13:26:36 +1000 > Subject: [AUS-Tas] Help with a Launceston baptism if possible please > From: aus-tasmania@rootsweb.com > > Hi all > > Following Peter Oakley's wonderful discovery in the Deloraine baptisms, that finally linked our George and my fellow researchers' William as brothers, being the sons of John Brown and Mary Ann Smith, we are wondering if anyone has access to Launceston baptisms, most likely those of Rev.

Hi Sharon and all Just letting everyone know I have had a message from a very good efriend letting me know that the child I was seeking died the following day. How I missed it I will never know. Sharon, you are so correct!! Brown research is a nightmare and especially when those who may have been able to help were all deceased by 1953 - pre me meeting family!! Working in the dark, so to speak. Sharon I will keep details of yours in case I find anything in my travels. Yours are earlier arrivals than ours though. I do have a nice little pile of people looking for their lost Browns!! For some reason they all seemed to use the same given names!!! Thanks to all Wendy Brown ----- Original Message ----- From: Sharon Finn To: Don and Wendy Brown ; Tasmania List Sent: Saturday, January 17, 2015 10:05 PM Subject: RE: [AUS-Tas] Help with a BROWN baptism if possible please Hi Wendy Unfortunately I Cannot help with your query but I have another Brown of Deloraine to throw into the mix.
