Anne Brown

Early life
Brown's father was a publisher.

Brown studied in Germany and learned its language.

In her twenties, Brown lived in Paris. She travelled to various regions of France, Italy, Switzerland and Germany, writing a journal during these trips. Upon her return to Edinburgh, she regularly visited London and accompanied her brother James on trips to continental Europe.

Meeting Brown
Anne first met George Brown in the fall of 1862. Brown was visiting the United Kingdom and her brother, Tom Nelson, invited him to visit their home in Edinburgh. George moved into a residence nearby and began courting Brown. Five weeks after their first meeting, on November 27, they were wed at the Nelson's home. The couple departed to Toronto just over a week later.
