Family
Lois Marie Browne was born on the Parson’s Road, Pembroke, one of four children of James Browne, a contractor and owner of the Clayhouse Inn, and his wife Emmeline, née Charles. Her parents and grandparents emigrated to Bermuda - Thomas James Browne, Elizabeth Browne and James Browne from Nevis in 1914, and Adolphus, Catherine and Emmeline Charles from St. Kitts - part of a large influx of West Indians that had begun in the latter years of the 19th century.
She married Trinidadian-born John Evans in 1958, and the couple had three children: Ernestine, Donald, and Nadine.
