Query Text: |
Two of my cousins and I are researching the family of David Cunningham BROWNING (1803-1860) and his wife Jean BISSET (1810-after 1881), and for many moons we have been baffled by four of their sons, who seemed to disappear off the face of the earth. One (Andrew) did return to England and appeared in the 1881 Census as "Yeoman in Canada" while visiting his widowed mother in Kinconquhar, Fife, Scotland, and but that was the only clue until a day ago. Then, Googling away, I came across a catalogue for an auction sale of "ephemera" on 9th December 2004, which included autograph letters from the four sons to their mother, from the Muskoka Lakes region, in the 1860s! Astonishing. The sons were all born in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Northumberland, England, as follows: James Bishop BROWNING, born 7 July 1834 David Cunningham Browning, born 3 January 1841 Andrew Hutchinson Browning, born 7 January 1843, and Robert Mortimer Glover, born 18 December 1844 The death of a James Bishop Browning was registered in Lambeth, Surrey, in 1898, but this could have been someone else, or a registration of "our" JBP's death overseas made by a kinsperson living in Lambeth. We have nothing else on the fates of this quartet. Never having done any detailed research in Canada, I'm at a loss where to start. Can someone point me towards a guide, or any web-sites I ought to search for these four fellows? Don Montague in the damp, English Midlands | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
