Just making a guess at this, as there are quite a few John Brown's in Brighton, but eliminating the ones that have middle initials,

1911 England, Wales & Scotland Census Transcription
40 Cambridge Street Brighton, Brighton, Sussex, England


William Brown Head Married Male Bricklayer Builders 46 1865 Brighton
Elizabeth Brown Wife Married Female - 42 1869 Brighton
John Brown Son Single Male Carman Fruiterers 24 1887 Brighton

Rose Brown Daughter Single Female School 11 1900 London T
Frederick Brown Son Single Male School 10 1901 London
Thomas Stanley Brown Son - Male School 7 1904 London

There's probably about 5 marriages that 'might ' be him

Thank you for looking Rose.

Friend, born of 1942 marriage has told me that aged family members had hinted to her that there had been a previous marriage, but nobody was willing to say any more and all are long since passed.
We were hoping that we could find him in 1939, he might still be with a 1st wife.

I do know that when friend was young,t he had his own'corner shop', buy how long he'd had that, I'm not sure.

Sorry,I don't know family details. I'll have to ask.

Nothing coming up for a likely Brown and that date of birth, do you know any other family members that he might have been with? or previous marriage perhaps?

Please could someone help to locate a friend's family member in 1939?

We know that he was born in Hove / Brighton on 4 May 1887 and in 1942 married in New Cross,London.

Unfortunately he had the very common name of John BROWN,often known as Jack.

It would be great if someone could track him down,as that might help solve a family mystery regarding where he lived pre marriage.

Many thanks.
