Hi Janet Thanks for the message. I don't know of a local LDS to me unfortunately and I have no way of reading fiche (even my local library has a fiche reader so old it only reads 'reels') - so am a bit stumped there. Will probably have to travel to where the Gloucester archives are held I think!

Perhaps your best bet is to order the film (no 417124) from your local LDS Family History Centre and look through that. Good luck with your BROWNS - it is probably as difficult as my John SMITH, son of John SMITH, son of John SMITH!!! Janet.

I'm a bit behind here but if you want to know where your nearest Family History Centre is go to www.familysearch.org & look on the left hand side of the page after the search facility & you will see how to find out where the nearest one is to you.
