My Grandmother Ethel Maud BROWN was born to: CATHERINE CADGER b\1883 - d\?, Catherine is listed on an extract of the birth certificate as a domestic servant of 108 Hill Street Garnethill Glasgow, Scotland. ETHEL MAUDE BROWN CADGER (as is on extract) b\August 24 1902 8:15 pm at 101 Water St. Glasgow, Scotland. (district of St. Rollox Lanark). My Great Grandfather, David BROWN & his wife Margaret(Maggie)MACDONALD took the baby from Catherine Cadger. Ethel Maud BROWN CADGER was either adopted or was the illegitimate daughter of David BROWN. David BROWN b/Dec 1848 d/1935. I believe Margaret MACDONALD was b/abt 1866 d/1950. These dates may not be exact. My Grandmother Ethel was raised on the Isle of Skye by Margaret' parents and around 1911 she ended up in a place called Camault (mention of Lochcarron). >From a letter I saw she was living with someone named Annie MacLennan. Margaret & Ethel came to Canada 1914. I believe David BROWN was already in Canada and sent for them. I did find David BROWN's gravestone in Hamilton Ont Can. All it said was David Brown died Aug 27, 1935. My mother said David BROWN was born in Scotland. The girl at the cemetery office said the book said he was born in England. The date I have for David's birth came from an old book my grandmother had, but the date fits with how old the girl at the cemetery office said he was when he died. My mother said Margaret was about 18 years younger than David and 1866 fits with the age the girl at the cemetary office gave me for Margaret at death. No gravestone for Margaret. My mother said David BROWN was a LACE BUYER for ? company travelling around on ships all the time. Once they got to Canada, they lived in Copper Cliff Ontario, Durham Ontario, Mount Forest Ontario, and Hamilton Ontario. Why would an old man with a family move that much? David BROWN wrote an article to a newspaper in Hamilton, Ontario around 1930. In the article he talks about his 'older brother' dead some 30 years. No name for older brother, but clues indicate the name might have been William. David says his brother went to New Zealand and opened a little school at a place called Tomahawk near Dunedin and that he closed the school and returned 'home' to Scotland on the ship Otago. So brother maybe William BROWN,a teacher, Scotland>New Zealand>Scotland, born before 1848 and died about 1900. >From an old letter, Ethel tells her father David BROWN that Uncle Willy was in an asylum. David may have had a sister, Mary SMITH who lived in Chicago and worked at Quaker Oats. The Latter Day Saints search comes up with a David Brown & Maggie Macdonald marriage 1866, Scotland,but 1866 is the approximate year of birth I have for Margaret Macdonald, so that cannot be. I have a picture of them and she looks 20 years younger than him. That's all I know. Sincerely, Julie Campbell-Peters Scarborough, Ontario.
