Hello Rhoda, My error again. I should not rush abd read very carefully before I post to the List, I was multi tasking at the time. I have been working on another family where Mary is the main character. The lady who gave birth to Eva Christian Brown, was in fact ANN Milne Brown not a Mary and was the daughter of John Brown a Butcher's Apprentice and was living at 86 Grove Street, Edinburgh. I am really making some boo boos this evening. Sorry about that.
