Brown Family Genealogy

Brown's from Saskatchewan Canada

My mother-in-law's maiden name is brown and all we have is her dad's info 

John William Brown

Born: 25 Jun 1913 in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, Canada 
Died: 27 Mar 1976 in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada 
His father may also have been John William Brown but my mother-in-law has no recollection of his family. He eventually moved to Edmonton where he married Sarah Rosentreter. together they had 4 children all born in Edmonton
  • Norman Edward Brown born 1946
  • Jane Marion Brown born 1948
  • Betty Ann Brown born 1951
  • Jack Alvin Brown born 1956

Any help to find siblings or parents of John William Brown appreciated. I have tried finding him in the
1916 Canada Census of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta but no such luck. 

UPDATE: May 13, 2015

I now know that his dad definitely was John William Brown and his mother died when he was quite young Have found family in 1921 Canada census and John  William Brown Sr was already remarried to a Phoebe Annie Madley. Any birth marriage or death info for John William Brown Sr or info on his first wife who died would be appreciated
