Find Ancestors

Big thank you to all for your wonderful help.

I have started to slowly work my way through all the family data.

kind regards
Ian

Hi Everyone, It been a really busy day for all of us what an amazing group this is.

I wonder what the family connection is for Ron Brown?
He has been leaving flowers on several graves records

Very kind and considerate gesture indeed.

I have not come across the name before today.

regards
Ian

Brown is, of course, a very common name.

However, it looks as if he's a son of Joseph Brown and Sarah Jane B Salvona (1928) who married in 1950 .

If you click on his name on the Findagrave website, you can send him a message.

He has added flowers to 1313 memorials, mainly of people who died in Australia.

It may just be coincidence, but two of those people seem to be his parents:

It's possible that Sarah 1928 is their daughter (if not a daughter of Sarah 1909 as previously suggested) - but only her birth cert would tell you

Thanks, GG.

There doesn't appear to be any memorial to her at Enfield Memorial Park, at least not as Jenkinson, and she's not among the various Jenkinsons for whom Ron has left flowers on Findagrave -
but maybe her memorial hasn't been put on Findagrave yet, or maybe she remarried..

Hi A G
Just found the family details for Sarah Jane Bates Salvona 1928 via Registrar in Scotland she kindly did a quick look-up for me.
