Hi again, Janice On second thoughts, did you mean to type "Annie Milne Brown" rather than "Mary Milne Brown"? In which case ignore my earlier email (See your 3rd para below). It may be that your Annie Brown added the family name "Milne" to her name when she was older, and that her birth would be registered under the name of Ann Brown. I have instances of this in my family. Have you looked for her in the 1901 Census?
