| 1910
- Will for Thompson Brown These
are notes, not the entire will. |
December 10, 2004 |
| Newspaper
clippings This is a new page taking some docuemtns from other
pages - but the significant new additions all have to do with the
court cases involving the OLIVER, JACKSON and LESLIE families and
the question of the ownership of the Mills at Laragh, Co. Armagh.
I have made a substantial start at footnoting these articles and
beginning to identify the various players. |

his father Samuel was a linen and woolens merchant at 60 Dame Street,
Dublin. |

| Dickie
Descendants This tree is based in large measure on a 1900s
pedigree. It is lengthy and generally trustworthy (I believe),
but has little in the way of back-up documentation and dates. |
September 27, 2004 |
| McKean
Descendants This includes the McKean family of Laragh. This
is a page in progress. |

this photo who are known to me. There is Daniel Gunn Browne,
and David's sister Margaret as well as David Jackson of the HSBC. |
September 10, 2004 |
| Tollemache,
Lionel This family tree includes ancestors of Amelia Lydia
DARE, wife of Sir Thomas JACKSON. It starts in the early 1600s. |

| Patteson
Family PhotosI am unsure why this family would be in the family
album, but perhaps someone can enlighten me. |
August 9, 2004 |
| Dickie Family
photos The presence of these photos of the Dickie family of
Co. Louth present something of a mystery to me. I am unsure how
they tie in to the family, but am certain that they will - once
the mystery is unraveled. Here I hope for help from some kind soul
who may hold the missing key. |

| Browne,
Ethel paintings These are photos of paintings of horses and
dogs, generally painted on commission in the 1940s and 50s and
sent as Xmas cards to the Canadian Brown(e) families. |

| Eager-Edgar:
Eight Generations This is the family tree that leads from the
EAGERs of Scotland in the time of Charles I to the connection with
the BROWNE family tree in the 1870s. I am indebted to Tony Browne,
and before him Michael Browne for the work which produced this
tree. There may still be errors, but we will get to these. |
August 6, 2004 |
| Tollemach
Family Tree This starts with John Tollemache (1710-1777). He
is a great-great grandparent of Amelia Lydia DARE, wife of Sir
Thomas JACKSON. |

| BROWNE
Family Tree This family tree is the one that most reliably
connects to my grandmother, June Edgar BROWNE. The connections
to the BROWNE family tree beneath are alleged, but the links still
need to be both found and proven. |
August 4, 2004 |
| 1952
letter from June Edgar BROWNE This is the first bit of news
that pointed me towards the Sligo BROWNE connection. |
August 4, 2004 |
| Browne,
the Janeville Browne's of County Down I am still in sleuth
mode on the BROWNE family & have yet to figure out how the
Monteagles and the Montagues and our Brownes all connect. |
August 4, 2004 |
| Browne,
Sir Anthony descendants This is definitely a DRAFT level
of tree, but it is an attempt to knit together the original MONTAGUE
line of BROWNEs from whom the Westport BROWNEs are imputed to be
descended. These BROWNEs are otherwise known as the MONTEAGLE BROWNEs.
The file is close to twenty pages long - so it will require some
patience if you are on a slow modem. Sorry. |

| Cordevlish Thanks
to Wendy Jack, I have added a version of the map which has the two
sections joined together |
March 28, 2004 |
| Cordevlish "A
Map of Cordevlish in the Parish of Aughnamullan, Barony of Cremoran &
County of Monaghan belonging to Miss Elizabeth Breakey, surveys in
1781 by Jn Bruster" This map is of particular interest
because of its information about the Breakey family conection. Elizabeth
Breakey would have been aged 23 at the time of this map, the year
of her marriage to Thomas Bradford. Note in the second part, the
lands tenanted by John Breakey. |
February 24, 2004 |
