[4qd-bannvalley] Brown/Hamilton

[4qd-bannvalley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Lunney Family)]

Dear Anthony,

I am delighted to hear from you; James Brown is indeed my gt gt gt gt  
uncle; so we are probably cousins in some degee. Indeed, we are  
probably related twice over, because I am more than likely related to  
James Brown's wife as well, though that's not provable at the moment.  
Do you have the family trees of the Browns of Ballinaloob drawn up by  
Julia Mullin and T. Bennett? If not, I'd be glad to send copies. I  
also have scanned copies of portraits of James Brown and his wife  
very kindly sent to me by one of his descendants in America; if you  
haven't seen those I'd be glad to send them as well.

Do you know if you are related  to the Hamiltons of Garvagh? one of  
them in the 19th century wrote an interesting autobiography

I now live in Dublin but I grew up in co. Antrim, so I know a fair  
bit about the family history and related families; if you need maps  
or anything, just ask

Best wishes

Linde Lunney
