Do you have contact with other family members? If not it might be possible to trace them through his wife's name. I know it may seem very long-winded but other people often have bits of the jigsaw. |

Well, unusual names have a lot of benefits but there is one thing with a name like Brown - it is a lot less likely to get mis-transcribed! |

Where or when was the marriage? Can you find the family on any census which might give clues? |
