HELLO IAM LOOKING FOR INFORMATION ON MY GREAT GRANDFATHER JOSEPH BROWN (1894). WHEN HE MARRIED MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER CATHERINE QUINN IN 1920 IN ANDERSTON GLASGOW AT ST PARTICKS CHURCH GLASGOW HE WAS A WIDOWER. ON HIS MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE TO CATHERINE QUINN HE LIVED AT 22 BALMANNS STREET GLASGOW IN THE DISTRICT OF ANDERSTON. I DO NOT KNOW THE NAME OF HIS FIRST WIFE. HE HAD A DAUGHTER CALLED MARY BROWN FROM HIS FIRST MARRIAGE, WHO WAS FROM ALVA STIRLINGSHIRE. JOSEPH BROWNS PARENTS ARE PETER MCGRADY BROWN AND JANET ALGIE. MY GRANDFATHER JOHN KANE BROWN OFTEN SPOKE ABOUT HIS STEPSISTER MARY BROWN. JOSEPH BROWN DIED AROUND 1928. FROM JOSEPHS SECOND MARRIAGE TO CATHERINE QUINN HE HAD 3 KIDS JOSEPH, JOHN (1926) PEGGY WHO DIED YOUNG. I HOPE THAT SOMEBODY RECOGNISES THESE NAMES MENTIONED AND GETS IN CONTACT. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. REGARDS GILLIAN SOMMERVILLE
