Hello David, Was the address at 86 Grove Street a private residence, or was it a hospital? Ann Milne Brown's grandson, Bob was able to obtain a copy of Ann's birth certificate and she was born at 6 Chalmer's Building in Edinburgh on 28th My 1885. I carried out a Google and found this on the Chalmer's Building:- The Chalmers Building, Fountainbridge Edinburgh, at a guess I suppose it was apartments. I have joined The Ship List, and the same suggestions regarding searching for Ann embarking on a ship for Canada, however if was informed that many young ladies were leaving for the US and Canada from Glasgow and also Liverpool as Domestics, the Lister advised me that she could not find an Ann Brown leaving from around 1910, nor on the 1911 Census. However, and idea has come to mind that maybe Ann married in Edinburgh and sailed to Canada with her new husband, she may have been in Canada for the 1911 Census, but not under the name Brown. Thank you for your reply, I very much appreciate it.
