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.

“Being so wrong about her makes me wonder now how often I am utterly wrong about myself. And how wrong she might have been about her mother, how wrong he might have been about his father, how much of family life is a vast web of misunderstandings, a tinted and touched-up family portrait, an accurate representation of fact that leaves out only the essential truth.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
