Brown Family Search.

Surnames: Brown, Chipman
Good day and Merry Christmas to all subscribers.
I am looking for information on the Brown's of Spaniards Bay,
Newfoundland.
Specifically I have Eliza Brown, my great grandmother, born ~1850,
marrying Leonard Chipman, 19 Dec 1872 in Spaniards Bay. She died
15 May 1933 at Spaniards Bay. I have her father as Robert Brown (1804-1884) and her
mother as Martha Anthony. I believe she had a sister Melina who was witness
at Eliza's wedding. Also have Robert's father (1804) as Robert (1772-1846) and mother
as Joanna Drover (1779-1861). Can anybody confirm/edit or add to this information please?
Len

I have just been doing my tree and your great grandmother --is --I believe --a sister to my gretat grandmother -Isabella Brown---Isabella's parents are _"Robert Brown/1804-1884 and Martha Anthony--I don't have any dates for her-
I have lines back to my 15th great grandmother thru this line --My Tree is in Ancestry.com -"Lloyd Lusk Matheson.Swinerton "
I trust you may find what you are looking for---
Robert Brown's father was also "Robert- who was married to a Joanna Drover-- This is the line that keeps going back--the Drover line --Joanna father was William Drover and I believe he was the first here from Ringwood Hampshire England
I am still trying to go back on the Brown Line.
My Great grandmother-Isabella Brown Married a William H Lloyd who was from England--It is "told" Tha he was in the English Navy and wanted to come to the US so he jumped ship !!!! was picked up by a Newfoundland T roller--This I know as I have my grandfather's birth certificate and his parents listed as :Isabella BRrwn -Newfoundland and William H Lloyd/ England. I am still trying to find out how and where they came to the US--they settled first in Dorchester ,MA- well so much for my family--hope this helps you out-- the stories from Spaniards Bay are interesting

Thanks very much. It sounds like the same Brown family. I will have a look at your tree on Ancestry. I'll also check my Family Tree to see if I have any other info that might be of use to you.
Regards

Hi Again.
Yes it appears that we have a connection with the Brown family. When my great grandmother married Azariah Chipman, there is also a Melina Brown who I assumed was likely a sister to Eliza. I don't have much to offer on the Brown side but have lots for the Chipman side.
Regards

The Drover line you mention is indeed in Ringwood England, a considerable amount of work was done by a Jon Drover who I cannot find online anymore.
Do you have anymore info on the Robert Brown- Martha Anthony Line
Cheers
Gerry
