Posted on: Buteshire Scotland Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/Scotland/Bute?read=366 Surname: BROWN, BLACK ------------------------- Looking for origins and family that may be related to my great grandmother, below is everything I know of her and her family! Hope SKS's can help - maybe I'll find a distant cousin or two, Thanks, Peta-Anne, Aussie in Arizona. BROWN, Mary Jane - Marriage Record, from Registry of BDM, State of Victoria, Commonwealth of Australia - gives the following information: The first column (title unreadable) shows the number '7'. On December 24th 1873, in Sandhurst, Victoria, Charles MILLER married Mary Jane BROWN. Miller's birthplace was Finedon, Northamptonshire, England, Brown was from Isle of Bute, Ruthsay, Scotland. Miller was listed as a miner; neither was previously married, being 29 and 21 years respectively. Both were residents in Sandhurst, Victoria. Mary Jane's parents were shown to be Hugh BROWN (factor) and Isobelle BLACK. I hope to connect to anyone who can assist in tracing Mary Janes family and even descendants of this family please email at [email protected]
