Brown

Looking for information on a Brown family who were coastguards in Achill Island in the mid 1800s. As the children were born there it is most likely that the father was a coastguard. Have no more information at the moment.

Have discovered that his son William was also a coastguard, William was born in Co Sligo in 1826 and served in England, it looks like he never married. He died in Achill in 1899.Smile
