Hi Arthur,
I am stuck with my paternal grandfather.
I am also named Arthur Brown and my eldest brother is Charles Henry Brown.
When I was still very young my father once told me that our surname was also changed from Browne to Brown.
My father was Cornelius Johannes Brown born 1916 (baptised in Kempton Park, South Africa) and his mother was Anna (Annie) Maria van der Westhuizen.
I cannot find anything that Brown/Browne was ever married to my grandmother Anna.
Some time after my father was born my grandmother married a Weppener, and her death notice only refers to this marriage.
If in your research you have perhaps came across any of the above names I will appreciate it if you can let me know.
Regards
Arthur Brown
