Hello, Well it apprears that descendants of the Brown family were still living at the Globe Street address, with the daughter of being given her third christian name as Brown. How can we join up the dots? John Brown and his wife Mary Knowles, had four so far known children, John Brown born 1880, Mary H Brown born circa 1883, then Ann Milne Brown born 1909 and who I am interested in and Alexander Brown born circa 1890. What does the 1881 Census show for this address?
