According to our family bible James Brown was born in January 1853 (no day) to RObert Brown & Helen Dunlop but I cannot find him in the Scottish Origins Database. Have tried the year before and year after no luck. I can find his marriage in 1878 and have all the details but I am interested in finding him to get his parents details. ANyone got any suggestions. > > I am coming to Scotland in January from sunny Australia and want to visit the borders area hence asking where is LIlliesleaf > > Thanks > > Jean Duff > > Signup for your free Virtual Countries E-mail address at http://www.scotland.com > >
