Sorry, John -- I don't have a Florence Brown. My Browns (Peter and his wife and 2 or 3 children, including my great-grandfather, Duncan) went to Canada sometime between 1840 and 1850 so far as I have been able to determine and stayed in Victoria County, principally Eldon Township.

I think the Browns had the farm across the road from the McKays. Florence
would be in her 80-90's now I think, about that anyway.
