Christine, At last someone speaks to me! :-) Thanks for your reply. No, probably no links between our BROWNS then. Just by the by if any of yours/or other lines strayed further down towards Wiltshire - I could be more helpful - Wiltshire is more my area. I'm beginning to think being difficult to find is a pre-requisite of my ancestors! ;-) Regards Simone. -----Original Message----- From: hartwell.s@comcast.net To: gloucester@rootsweb.com Sent: Wed, 14 Mar 2007 1:33 PM Subject: Re: [GLS] Fwd: Request for Help Please BROWN I am researching a Brown family and not having much luck with them.

I'm beginning to think being difficult to find is a pre-requisite of my ancestors! ;-) Regards Simone. You're not wrong there, our BROWNS married JONES. Our Browns descend from William George BROWN born about 1846 in Cheltenham. Bob
