I am trying to locate any information I can acquire on my
great uncle, Harry Brown. He and my grandmother, Bessie
were born in New Brunswick in a first marriage between
Edward Brown & Augusta Jane McCallum. Augusta Jane died in her late-20's and Edward remarried Carrie A. Lloyd who we
know passed away in Kirkland Lake in Oct. 1939. There are
many of the children and grandchildren of the second marriage still in the area of Kirkland Lake amd Haileybury.

We know that Harry went to Northern Ontario around the turn
of the century because of a Xmas card from his first wife
Alice to my grandmother in 1907 when Harry was in Espanola.
He remarried in his 50's to his sister's (Bessie)husband's
sister, Emma. They both pasted away in Fort William in the
late 50's - early 60's where they had been for many years.
There were no children by the 2nd marriage.

I have no record of any children from the first marriage and that's the line I'd like to pursue as we suspect there
were children with Harry & Alice.

Any help anyone can give us on either side of this family
would be very much appreciated.

Hey I hope you get this message! Harry's father Edward Steven Brown is my great great grandpa and I am trying to find all the Browns in my family tree and I am branching off to also find everyones children. I have Harry Edmund Brown and 4 women he was married to! If I have everything correct, Harry married a lady named Mabel Burns who was born 1890 and passed away 1947 and their children were Albert Brown 1921-1985 , Pearl Brown 1935-1935 (must of passed away soon after birth) Harry Brown 1933-1988 , Erlin Brown (I don't have dates) Lona Brown (I don't have dates) and 2 more children that were private and I can't seem to find them. Harry then married Helena Clark (I didn't find any children) He then married Annie Robinson who was born 1884 and passed away 1909 and they had 1 child named Earlin Robinson Brown 1909-1981. He then married Alice Adelaide and their children were Noname Brown passed away 1911 , Dorothy Elizabeth Brown 1911-1983 , Cecil Edward Brown 1914-1986 and 1 more child who was also private.
I hope this information can help you!!

My grandmother was Bessie Leila Brown and her brother was Harry Brown, son and daughter of Edward Steven Brown. Their mother was a McCollum from Ashland, Carleton County, New Brunswick. Grandma Bessie married Owen Ira Clark in 1907 in Hartland, New Brunswick. Hartland has been the Clark home for three generations until my Mother's death in 2001. You mentioned that Harry married Annie Robinson - that was in Woodstock, N.B, and she died in childbirth, their only child being Earlin as you point out. Harry was a bit of a rake and he didn't bother to get divorced when he re-married several times, as you point out. His last marriage was to Emma (nee Clark) who happened to be my great aunt, Owen Ira's sister !! So brother and sister married brother and sister, no children as they were both in their 60's when they married.
Harry was a prospector and a mine manager in Northern Ontario for many years. He and his
last wife, Emma lived in Fort William, Ontario until their deaths. Should you want anything further from me or if you have any other info I could use to fill in some holes, please let me know your e-mail address so we can converse directly - mine is daveclark2347@hotmail.com - thanks
Dave Clark, Brampton. Ontario
If you check further into the threads on Ancestry, you'll find a lady up your way who has a LOT of info on Harry as well.
