Thank you gc1660.
You have confirmed the connection between Finlay Brown and Mary Turner for me, as well as established a birth date for Finlay.  I had also previously suspected Donald Whyte and Isabell Brown were married (via census) however your efforts have now confirmed this for me as well.  You are correct with your thoughts that the Mary McLean is Mary Ann Campbell McLean, daughter of Archibald McLean.  She stayed with him into his old age, and I don't think she ever married.  Thank you again for your assistance. 
Regards

Hello gc1660
I am interested in the information you might have concerning Margaret Brown's parents, Finlay Brown and Mary Turner.  I have a marriage date of 26 Feb 1784 at Inverchaolain, but haven't been able to confirm date(s) of birth for either parent.  I have 7 children listed of which Margaret (b.1799) is the sixth.  I have enjoyed reading the data posted on Inverchaolain.
Best regards
L. McLean

Malevich,
Your post re Finlay Brown caught my interest due to the reference to my ancestor Alexander Brown (1777-1864)(brother to Archibald)
Checking through the data I have collected so far on the Inverchaolain Browns unfortunately identified that John born 1808 appeared to be the son of another Alexander Brown and Mary Cameron, not Alexander Brown and Mary Currie.
It has taken a few days to prove it but I can confirm everything else in your post: Some notes follow:
Alexander Brown (son of Finlay Brown and Mary Turner) of Brackley beg married Janet Turner 19 January 1846 and had at least five children - Margaret 1846, Donald 1848, Catherine 1854, Janet (Jessie) 1858 and Finlay born at Knockdow on 10 November 1862. Alexander died a pauper aged 80 on 5 October 1863. I have not found a second marriage for Janet but she was with John and their 6 month old son Robert Mitchell in 1871. John's death certificate 25 June 1885 confirm his mother was Mary Cameron and he is listed as the widower of Janet Turner / Brown.
I will contact you later off list.

Good morning (David) sonofcam.  I have just been introduced to this site.  This being my primary post, I hope you will receive the message.  My Gr/great grandmother was Margaret Brown (b.1799), the daughter of Finlay Brown and Mary Turner, and according to my calculations would be the sister of Alexander Brown noted in your post from 07 Sep 2010.  As we are located on different parts of the Globe, I would be interested in providing what-ever information I might possess to help complete your research and expand my own knowledge .
