My husbands grandfather, Arthur Brown, was born in Egypt in 1836 while his father, Thomas Brown, worked as an engineer on the Egyptian Railways.
Thomas Brown was born in Wolverton, Bucks - He married Elizabeth Tooth in 1861 in Egypt; most of their children were born there:- - George Edwin in 1864 - Arthur in 1866 - Elizabeth Emma Jane in 1869 - Martha Edith in 1872 (she was known as Edith and married George Brownsworth Glenny in 1897). - There were other children born, they all died young.
There is a strong early family connection with Wolverton, Bucks and, later to the Manchester area.
I would love to hear from anyone with any knowledge or link to this family.
Happy vibes Maureen Brown

Dear Gins,
The information re Arthur Brown is correct on your tree; however, the death for Thos Geo Brown in East Melb is not connected.
We know for sure that Arthur's father, Thomas Brown was in England in 1911 - we are in the process of trying to confirm his death details.
The census details you display are also correct and are connected.
We have a copy of the Will of Arthur's sister, Elizabeth, and can verify most of the information.
What is your connection?
Cheers Maureen
