Cumming & Browne Family History

Hi! Amongst many other things in a fairly busy life, I'm researching the family history of both myself and my wife - trying to keep track of all the various lines is quite complex but it does have the advantage of always having something else to research when one particular brick wall proves too much...

I have taken the time to give some detail of my research so far in the hope that someone will find a connection. The eight main surnames shown are those of our grandparents. Please get in touch if you think there may be some link!
