    Hello Laura,

    I was an old friend of your father and only just heard of his passing. Your grandfather’s name was Roderick Joseph Browne. I have done quite a bit of research into my own family roots in Newfoundland and this is a good source of information but not the only one. I have some questions that I would like to ask you and I may be able to help with some of your questions.

    Regards,

    Charlie Anstey

    There is a picture on NGB of William Joseph Browne and Patrick Sullivan (his brother in law- husband of Selina Brown Sullivan). I have some pictures of WJB daughters- they models with hats- I think it was son Philip Brown who had a hat shop in St Johns and had his cousins model them.
