I am looking for my nans dad named Sydney James Brown born 1909c he had a brother William and a step brother called Percy. He lived in Battersea London I do not know if this was where he was born. His wife was called Kathleen Field. They had 4 sons Terry, Peter, Roy and Leslie and 3 daughters my nan Barbara, jean and Pamela.

I know nothing about him, his wife or his parents I would love it if you could find any info. Thank you.


Sydneys dad is believed to have been a petty officer in the merchant navy.

EDIT -------

Thank you all so much for your help with this. Could you now see if you can delve a little deeper now into Sydney's fathers history.

Charles Brown 1870 found amongst these posts married to Sarah Beatrice Brown. He was a naval officer.
