Hi Fiona: I just came across this post of yours.....this is my family on the Brown's side....do you have any information on Mary Brown grandparents? His name was John Brown and he married a Janet??? Also John apparently was married to someone else before Janet......Mary's father was Adam Brown and Janet McCheyne? and Adam was married to a Jean Lorrimer before Janet.. I would like to find out if there was an Adam Brown born to Jean Lorimer and Adam Brown???.....They lived at Gateslack before the Rae's. I imagine William Rae took over the farm when he married Mary.....My line is with Mary's brother, John Brown who married Marion Wilson. I'm trying to find information on the original John Brown, up top. He was born around 1654 and lived to be 103 years old....Where was he born? and who were his parents? Who did he marry and who were all his children? I know of Thomas, John, Mary and Adam, but that's it.. He lived most of his life at Gateslack, Durisdeer.......I would certainly appreciate any help that you could give me.....Thank you. Christine
