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.

Famous quotes containing the word family:
“My ambition for station was always easily controlled. If the place came to me it was welcome. But it never seemed to me worth seeking at the cost of self-respect, or independence. My family were not historic; they were well-to-do, did not hold or seek office. It was easy for me to be contented in private life. An honor was no honor to me, if obtained by my own seeking.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“In the middle classes the gifted son of a family is always the poorest—usually a writer or artist with no sense for speculation—and in a family of peasants, where the average comfort is just over penury, the gifted son sinks also, and is soon a tramp on the roadside.”
—J.M. (John Millington)
“Being in a family is like being in a play. Each birth order position is like a different part in a play, with distinct and separate characteristics for each part. Therefore, if one sibling has already filled a part, such as the good child, other siblings may feel they have to find other parts to play, such as rebellious child, academic child, athletic child, social child, and so on.”
—Jane Nelson (20th century)
