Didama Sellers Fry married James Warren Brown Sept 8 1897 in Harrison Co Iowa. James was born 1855 in Hales, Norfolk England, son of Thomas Brown and Harriet Warren. He left England abt 1871 and as near as we can tell, he settled shortly after that in Iowa - exact date unknown at this point. James first married Martha E (Mattie) Poor bef 1890. Mattie died Jan 1891, leaving behind James Warren and their son Alfred Edmand. James and Didama were married as I mentioned in 1897. James had lived in Pottawottami Co Iowa and one point, then moved up to Harrison Co. By 1913, James Warren and Didama had moved to Canada, to the area around Ninette Manitoba. James' father died in 1913. James and Didama lived a long time in this area and James died in 1940 and is buried in the Ninette Cemetery. Some time after James' death, Didama returned to Harrison Co to be close to her daughter May Condron and she died there in 1958. James' son, Alfred married Didama's youngest daughter Lila Dollie in Nov 1911 (location u/k). Talk about joining the families into yours, mine and ours! Alfred and Lila had 3 children - Evelyn, William and James. This line of the family, as far as I know, lived in Iowa. James Warren Brown is the oldest brother of my ggrandmother, Martha Brown McKellar. If anyone would like further details, please feel free to contact me. regards, Colleen Lill Canada
