I am researching a Brown family and not having much luck with them. I have William born 1824 Burton on Trent and they sent to have moved down to Birmingham and then into the Banbury area. There are some Thomas Brown names in the family but I don't think they strayed that way Christine Hartwell Oregon USA ----- Original Message ----- From: <sim8ne@aol.com> To: <gloucester@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2007 5:03 AM Subject: [GLS] Fwd: Request for Help Please > Hi all - sorry to repeat myself.
