Robert Watt Brown bears the name of his famous granduncle as described on the WATT <\/a>page of this website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1889 he married Bridget Agnes Mullen in Dunedin and had 3 children as outlined below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He, similar to his parents and brothers, took on farming in the Taieri and remained there until he retired in 1892, when he bought a house in Macandrew Road in Dunedin. The same house was subject to total loss in a fire, but was rebuilt as it had been insured. Of note was that the insurance for the house was only slightly more than for the contents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
