Hi, Can anyone help. My Brown family trail is now at Kincardineshire, Scotland. I'm searching for Birth details of my Gr.Gr.Grandfather William Brown. I have quite a lot of details on him. He married Margaret Arbuckle, at Gorbals, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland in 1819, so I guess he would have been born c. 1790-1800. William and Margaret had a large family. He married Grace McMurray, at Rutherglen, Lanarkshire, Scotland in 1851. I have him and his family on the 1851 Census, living at Rutherglen, Lanarkshire, Scotland. According to the details given on the Census, he was 46, and his birth place was Perthshire, Dunnottar. This is obviously a mistake, and should have been Kincardineshire, Dunnottar. I've found his Death details, and these seem to confuse things even more. He died in 1880, aged 69, at Rutherglen, Lanarkshire, Scotland. The informant was his Son, John Brown. Obviously the sums don't add up. The Parent details given add more confusion, Father, James Brown, Engine Keeper, Mother, not given. I wonder if William's son has made it up, or maybe he just didn't know. The Scottish naming pattern is evident all through my family, from myself back to William, where I think I've hit a brick wall. I had been expecting his father to be William also. Anyone come across this William Brown..?? Are there any sites that I can visit where I can get more details about the 'Brown' families in Kincardineshire..?? Best regards, Alex Brown
