Joseph Brown (b1859), Dalry
« on: Saturday 14 June 08 08:48 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help with the family of Joseph Brown?   He was an ironstone miner born 1859 Dalry.   Parents Hugh Brown & Jane Thornton.   He lived and worked for a while in Rankinston and appears to have built a house there.  He later sold it and moved to Ayr.    Would like to find out a bit more about Joseph, if anyone can help.

Thanks, I don't have these census years.  We're trying to find out how a miner could manage to build a bungalow in Rankinston, he sold it and moved to Ayr after a while but it's been a wee bit of an enigma.  Miners weren't well paid, certainly not enough to build a house.

Joseph was my great great great grandfather. Some of his family are still in Rankinston. I've just came home from talking to his grandson who is now in his mid 90s.

My grandmother was a widow thanks to WW1 and she married Alexander Brown, b 1871 in Saltcoats. They lived in Rankinston but I don't think there is any connection though.

When I was talking to his Josephs grandson last night, he mentioned that his grandpa Brown was from Dalry and that it was he who built Sceneryhill cottage at the top side of Rankinston. So, I decided to look into it for him. Josephs wife was an Ingram, and the Ingram name is still used in the family as a middle name.
