  • aka Miss Chrishy

    Christiana Brown is said to have been from Browns Town in Jamaica. There are multiple Christiana Browns from Browns Town that could be this Christian. Two possibilities are one born at Browns Town in 1881 whose mother was identified as Frances Brown. and another born there in 1885 whose mother is identified as Mary Jane Brown. A fact that might be help to separate the two Christiana Browns and determine which is the father of Oscar Joseph Harris is that a Lydia Brown (possible sister of Christiana?) was present at the births of some of the children, including Oscar, of this Christiana Brown.
