    3. My interest in the Sunderland web site has been in regards to the Fulhams and Lawsons. However, I became very excited when I read the posting regarding the marriage of Louise and George. Perhaps our roots are linked! My great-grandfather is Charles Joseph Brown born 1870 in Northampton and dying circa 1939 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. His occupation was a clicker in a shoe factory, then painter. I have his attestation papers for WW1. I have some information about his Father, Joseph Brown, born 1836. He married a Hannah who was born around 1839. They had four children; Joseph Charles (1870), Sarah A. (1867), Joseph H. (1869) and John F. (1878) . I do not have a George Henry who would have been born around 1880 if he was 25 at the time of his marriage. He married Ada Elizabeth Lewis, born 1877 in Northampton, on March 08, 1897 in All Saints Church, Northampton. They had four children; Roy, Hazel, Olive and Cyril. Cyril Brown, my Grandfather, was born on Oct. 05, 1898 in Northampton and died on April 15, 1984 in Winnipeg. He married Harriet Lawson, born May 11, 1898 at home, 145 Coronation Street, SUNDERLAND. Her life spanned three centuries. She passed away in Winnipeg at the age of 102. I hope this information is helpful. I would appreciate anything you can add. Diane Brown Toronto, Ontario, CANADA
