Sorry, but my Brown ancestors pre-date yours and were  from Inverkeilor.  My last Brown ancestor was Grace Brown, married to John Bell in !805.

Don'mean to butt in, I also have Browns in my family tree; both on my grandfathers side and my husbands family maternal side.

My husbands family settled in Portsmouth apparently but origins were Edinburgh.  They had a livery coach and four business.

My Grandads family never really moved away from Leith area of Edinburgh.  I was trying to sort out where Inver? was in relation to Leith.  My memory keeps failing me.  We as a family live in Dorset and my maiden name was Laidlaw before we married.  It was my grandfathers mother Marjory who was a Brown.
Her actual name (and I feel sorry for her) was...Marjory Charles Ferguson Macdonald Brown and she may as well have had Hutchison thrown in which was her mothers maiden name.
I would also be curious to find a connection between the two branches of Browns' relations.

Don't suppose there is a tie up with your Browns.

Assuming you mean Inverkeil(l)or, it's about 85 miles by the present road system. Bear in mind that from about the mid-19th century it would have been simplest to travel by train, taking say half a day. Before that you'd probably have gone by sea.

If you don't mean Inverkeil(l)or, you'll need to tell us which of the numerous Inver.....s you mean.
