Trying to find out information on George Albert Brown and his wife Minnie after 1923. Can not locate on 1930 census. Any help is appreciated.
Thank You!

He was associated with the Hawaii Shoe Co. from 1910 to 1923 as manager of the firm, leaving to establish his own enterprise. Mr. Brown has won recognition in artistic circles as a vocalist.

Hi Emmy,
A George A. Brown
Born: 16 May 1869, New York City, NY
and
Mable Brown
Born: July 14, 1889, Georgetown, OH [Minnie's sister?]
Port of Departure: Honolulu, HI
Arrived: 21 July 1930, Portland, Oregon
Source: Oregon Passenger and Crew Lists 1888-1957.

I wonder if Minnie died after 1920 and George married her sister Mable.

If you are related, you can request a copy of Minnie's death certificate from Hawaii Dept. Health, Vital Records, http://hawaii.gov/health/vital-records/vital-records.index.h.... There is a fee.

There is a George and Maude Brown in 1930 living in Chicago, Cook, Illinois.
George A. Brown, b. NY, 62, no occupation.
Maude W., wife, b. IL, 47.
I'd look for the death info in Illinois.

In 1930 there is a Minnie Brown living in Fallis, Lincoln, Oklahoma.
Minnie Brown, b. OH, 61, widow.
L. John, son, b. OK, 37, single, no occupation

I'd look for their death info in Oklahoma.
Successful Searching!
