The first time I saw a photo of Elizabeth. Would like to find out more information about James mother Mary Ann Brown nee McCorkindale.

Dunstan who wrote the text is a personal friend. Patricia was a Browne and like yourself related to the Brown’s ( without an E in the early days) that arrived on the “ Blenheim”in 1840. We are both volunteers at Golder Cottage which know doubt you know about .
I believe you might have the date wrong as to when the book was compiled. It was in 1992 not 1922 . Noeline de Courcy was not born until 1923 . CWL did not start in New Zealand until 1931 .
