I'm looking for my Uncle Matthew J Brown(e) known as Paddy who was born in Ireland, he married to my Aunt Elizabeth Allen in Oxford around in 1951, he was widowed in 1968 and he moved back to Ireland and he remarried to Annie Madden. Do you know what happened To Paddy and Annie in Dublin. They lived Benvien Rd, Dublin II. I havent heard from them over 10 years.

Would be an appreciate with your help

If Elizabeth married as Chambers 1951 then the spelling is Matthew J Browne with the E,

Sadly this may be his obituary, not enough detail to be sure though.

If this is the death of the above Matthew's wife then maiden name is different

Try writing to the funeral home mentioned in the obituary.
Even though it's 6 years ago, they may be willing to forward a letter to the next of kin, or whoever organised the funeral.

Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

Just for consideration, if he used second name and the birth year was uncertain, or this could be a sibling perhaps?

If you have the marriage cert to Elizabeth it may give father's name which may help?

I dont have Elizabeth's marriage certificate. Will try contact at the funeral home to see if they are willing to forward my message to the next of kin who organised Matt's funeral.
