Thanks for the info on the Munns. I noticed several mentioning a McKellar connection. John Brown's wife Jane Leitch had a sister Janet Leitch who married Duncan McKellar. They went to Australia on the ship of a Duncan McKellar (Uncle to the first Duncan) Janet was apparently murdered there and her husband Duncan died in 1838 . Their is a Brown connetion out there also. Helen

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 .

Ho all

By now I have done a lot of research into the Brown's of Inverchaolain and have a spreadsheet with all births till 1780.  I also reconstructed most families, inclusive the one of Finlay Brown and Mary Turner, John Brown and Mary Turner, John Brown and Margaret Harkness/Helen White (Kilmun), James Brown and Elizabeth Banatyne (Kilmun) etc.

Anybody interested just give me a message ...

Best regards

Hi

I have printouts of all marriage records of Inverchaolain parish till 1855 as well as births till 1780 and have also a list of all Clan Lamont related births at Dunoon & Kilmun (Brown/White/Turner/Black/Lamont) for period 1770 to 1819) and hope to extend this list to include also the births up to 1770.

As far as the Brown's is concerned I enetered all info in a spreadsheet and grouped them into families.

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

Finlay Brown and Mary Turner got indeed married 26 Feb 1784 at Inverchaolain.   The entry states: Finley Brown in Brackleybeg and Mary Turner in Uig in the united parish of Dunoon and Kilmun. 

Their children are:
Donald born 2 Jan 1785 (Donald Brown, son of Finlay Brown with Isobel Park daughter of Adam Park married 24 Jan 1815 at Dunoon and Kilmun)
Alexander born 17 Feb 1787 (Alexander Brown of Bracklybeg with Janet Turner there on 19 Jan 1846 at Inverchaolain)
Margaret born 12 Jan 1791 (must have died young)
Janet born 31 Dec 1792 (Alexander Campbell Joiner in this parish with Janet Brown in Brackleybeg married on 29 Jul 1813 at Inverchaolain)
Mary born 26 Feb 1797 (have not yet been able to trace a marriage for her ... might have died young)
Margaret born 7 April 1799 (Archibald McLean in Clachaig formerly of this parish with Margaret Brown in Brackleybeg on 22 Jan 1827 - marriage also registered in Dunoon & Kilmun)

Isabella born 11 Jul 1804 Inverchaolain (have not yet traced anything for her ... might have died young)

It is clear that Finlay Brown is the son of Alexander and Margaret Borwn born 20 August 1750 at Milton Inverchaolain.  Mary Turner is the daughter of Donald Turner Senior of Uig as Mary, the daughter of Donald Turner Jr of Uig married John McLean, a widower, on 28 April 1781 (this Mary was born 23 Sep 1760 and her mother was Jennet McIntyre).  I am still trying to define to whom Donald Turner Sr of Uig was married.
