Hi Doreen, I too have a brown in my family that I need info on. My g/g/g/grandfather John Stoddart married a Mary Brown in Dunblane Perthshire in 1811. I know it's very vague info but we have got to try these things otherwise it's a bit like sitting on a log. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Where are you at ???

Hi, Warren, saw your posting. There is a John Stoddart in the IGI, bapt 1783 at Muthill, Perthshire, Scot., in batch no. c113862, and a marriage for a John Stoddart to a Mary Brown in 1814 at the same town, in batch no. M113862. It could be your couple, but I don't know how you set about getting proof. best wishes Lorraine in WA
