Looking for the whereabouts of a DAVID BROWN. Half brother to my father GERALD FOY COFFEY.Both share same mother EDITH. EDITH'S MAIDEN NAME WAS FEATHERSTON(E)HAUGH. She married JAMES COFFEY when she was about 20 years of age.He died 2 weeks later. She went on to have 2 children out of wedlock to (father unknown). She named the children Gerald and Betty (Elizabeth). She abandons them and later relocates to London.She supposedly married a man by the name of BROWN. They have a son and name him DAVID. DAVID BROWN was supposed to have gone on to become a lecturer at Newcastle University in England. Apparently, EDITH relocates to Manchester. Would anyone know of this David Brown? I am not even sure if he knows of his mother's past and if he has a half brother or sister. Any information would be appreciated thank you.
