The BROWN family is proving very difficult to trace, especially when they married SMITHs. Thomas BROWN is the patriach, born in or near New Orleans in the USA about 1845. He married and raised his family in London in the UK. He must have died about 1886 leaving the family in poverty. The 2 elder boys went into the army at age 14, the girl into service and then Australia. The VARLEY family have proved much easier, although of Huguenot descent, arriving in the UK late 1600s or early 1700s. they stayed largely in West Yorkshire in the UK, in and around Huddersfield and Slaithwaite in Calderdale. In the 1700s they were clockmakers, then mill workers and worked their way up. Arthur VARLEY, my granfather, became a director of the Co-operative Wholesale Society, a very big and powerful commercial organisation during the early 1900s.
