Parents are Robert and Ann. Here are the details: Orillia, I1, Pg. 93, Line 8 Robert, age 30, b.

He was widowed. The informant was his son, Roy, of Orillia. He was buried in St. Andrew's cemetery, Orillia, Ontario. Could this be Annie's father? I found a birth of a Clifford Brown in 1909 to Oscar BROWN and Annie M. CRANE in Orillia. Here are the family on the 1911 census with Oscar's brother, Edward and his family: Name: Clefford Brown Gender: Male Marital Status: Single Age: 1 Birth Date: Dec 1909 BIRTHPLACE: Ontario Family Number: 10 Relation to Head of House: Nephew Tribal: English Province: Ontario District: Simcoe East District Number: 119 Sub-District: Orillia Sub-District Number: 39 Place of Habitation: Barrie Road Census Year: 1911 Page: 2 Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Edward Brown 27 Emile Brown 25 Bella K Brown 4 Sorn E Brown 1 Oscor Brown 24 Annie M Brown 20 Clefford Brown 1 I assume they married sometime between the 1901 census and the birth of Clifford in 1909 but haven't found the marriage registration yet.

More about CLIFF BROWN ..... (from memory ) . Cliff Brown operated a very good MEN'S WEAR SHOP, On Dunlop Street, West, BARRIE , in the early 1950's , and prior, I believe. Bought my first suit there, after starting to work in July 1950. Young Bankers have to be " impressive" .. you know. Tale from Out-of-school ... Cliff went to work, one morning, and upon returning for lunch, at noon, found his wife GONE, and the house COMPLETELY EMPTY .. devoid of everything !!!!!!! Now, THAT TAKES PLANNING !!!!!! Paul Robins If this is the same CLIFF BROWN, he should turn up in the Barrie EXAMINER, OF THE DAY, OR PERHAPS THE NORTHERN ADVANCE , of AN EARIER DATE.
