Notes - William immigrated from Tandragee, Armagh, Northern Ireland to Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada at the age of 16 in 1866. He is found in 1871 residing in St. Lawrence Ward, Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada, employed as a moulder. He was residing among a large group of Irish immigrant labourers who appear to be not related.
William's marriage record indicates that he was an iron moulder, son of William Brown, farmer. He was born in 1849 and residing in Tandragee. He married Rachel Brown, daughter of Robert Brown, baker in Tandragee. At his marriage, William James Brown was employed as an iron moulder. Another record gives William's parents as Robert and Sarah
William is found in 1881 in Hamilton, Ward 6 with his first wife, Rachel and his first two children. Birth records confirm the children were born in Ontario, thus William and Rachel were in Canada prior to 1878.
In 1891 William is found residing in Hamilton, Ward 7, employed as a moulder, nearby to his brother-in-law, John Brown.
In 1894, William married secondly to Elizabeth Leonard at which he gives his parents' names as Robert (or Albert?) and Sarah.
In 1901 William is found residing with his 2nd wife, Elizabeth, in Ward 6, Hamilton City as lodgers of Mary Garnet. It indicates that he immigrated in 1866, 22 years prior to his suggested brother, John Brown.
A William J Brown died from chronic pneumonia at the Toronto General Hospital on 28 Sep 1907 and buried 16 Oct 1907, age 59, born 1848 in Ireland. He is buried in Necropolis Cemetery in a plot owned by Robert James Brown. He was a widower employed as a moulder. His son, Robert James Brown, moved to Cabbagetown in Toronto which is where Necropolis Cemetery is located. Robert had a daughter who died in infancy who is also buried in Necropolis, which would seem to confirm that the William J Brown thus mentioned is the correct one.
