    Hi Dianne and welcome to the British Genealogy Forum.

    I'm wondering if you meant to post in the 'Introduce Yourself Forum', or are you posting your family names in the hope of us finding some links to establish your ancestry? If you are looking for research help we can move your post to a more appropriate forum, you've only to ask and it can be done, no problem

    Edith Elizabeth Brown born 8th July 1881 was the dau of James Brown and Jane Faulds
    I struggled to find the above marriage but think it's probably this one, and either 'find a grave' has the wrong surname for Jane, or the 'Australia, Marriage Index,' is wrong.

    Welcome to the British-Genealogy forums Dianne.
    As this thread is turning in to a research query I have moved it to the Australian forum with the title Thomas Brown and Ann Malloy In Tassie.
    Good luck with your search
