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.
