The Brown Family in Glugor
Whom did Shaik Ahmad work for? When?
There were 4 possible men named Brown:
- David Brown - deceased in 1834
- Dr David Brown - deceased before Shaik Ahmad's time
- Messrs. F. S. Brown - he was in the welcoming party for Penang under Colonel Anson for the Duke of Edinburgh's visit to Penang in 1869. Shaik Ahmad probably worked for him.
- Messrs. J. G. Brown - he probably succeeded Messrs. F. S. Brown in 1939; Dr Che Lah bought a Brown's house at 355-A Lengkok Pemancar, Bukit Glugor, in early 1960s.
