I am the daughter of John (17.11.04) better known as Jack,
I have never known any of his brothers or sisters.
I draw a blank on his side of the family, Can anyone help?

With such a common name, you will have to provide more info

London..........far too vague. Please say which district

Who was his father? He will be named on John's marriage cert...........

Do you know the name of your grandmother?

all have home address of 4 Derwent buildings and Horse Keeper as father's occupation

I don't think there is a connection with these because of the dates.

sorry couldn't resist

I looked up Thomas William Brown's birth in Edinburgh

parents were George Brown (stableman) and Estilla Matilda Brown nee Emery, they married 27 November 1887 in Swindon

If he was 38 in March 1942 when he died, and his birthday is November, he would have been 39 in November 1942, and so born in 1903.
So, was he born in 1903 or 1904?

The 1911 census states that Estelle was born in the West Indies.
In 1881 Estelle Emery is with her parents and siblings, most of them were born in Barbados

On John Browns marriage cert it has his age as 19 on 18th march 1923.
????

If he was 19 in March 1923, he would be 20 on his birthday in November, 1923, and so born in 1903.
