The Browns, the Blackleys (formerly Copes) all came to Canada from England.  The  Browns were led by Albert Edward Brown and Clara Ellen Clews in 1906 shortly after  their marriage in Biddulph Moor, Staffordshire, England.  Clara and Albert settled in  Northern Ontario around 1907 and it is from there that the Brown's Canada line began. The Blackley Canada line began with Hubert Cope coming to Canada and in one of the  mysteries of the family, changed his name to Albert Blackley while serving in the  Canadian Army prior to the first World War.  (Prior to the Canadian Army, both Albert  Brown and Hubert Cope served in the English Army and were in South Africa and India.)   Albert Blackley married Netta Wallace, daughter of Laura Tupper and William Henry  Wallace.  The Tupper family came to North America in the mid-1600's settling first in  Plymouth, Plymouth County, Massachusetts.  Two Tupper brothers, Eliakim and Elias  removed themselves and their rather large families to Nova Scotia, Canada and began  the Tupper dynasty in Canada.
