Broun/Brown

[Moonstar36]

Looking for information on the Broun/Brown family...last member of family Andrew Broun, died in Pinner, Middx and was apparently a surgeon, before that have some info of Andrew Broun who married Margaret Mackenzie from Coal, marriage solemnized at Edinburgh and they had four children, Janet, Grizel Hume, Henrietta and Margaret. They lived at Dolphinton. Possible that Andrew died in 1746 . Grizel married Kenneth Mackenzie eldest son of John Mackenzie of Devine in 1748.

Also Mary Ann Broun, who was the cousin of  the last Andrew Broun who died at Pinner, was the daughter of an Ebenezer Broun, of Biggar?,  Mary Ann Broun his daughter? married John Marshall of Sandal Yorks, he was a liberal agent/politician called Happy Jack.
A lot of info but am having difficulty trying to trace the Broun's/Browns', they may have loved in DOlphington and/or Biggar ...found Mary Ann marriage to John, but thats all so far...oops1 did also See in Scotland s people the marriage details for Kenneth and Grizel...but nowt else yet...any help or other 'family' links most appreciated and welcome. In particular looking for for Mary Ann's dad who I think was Ebenezer Brown and he may have been in the 17th Lancers??

please?

☼ Brown, Farr-Sgt Ebenezer, (358), 17th L (p251)
Enl 1830 or 1831. To Scut 08-08, & fr Scut to England 08-28-55 [55-3-2] Medal [502] w/ S [508] Clasp. Remarks “Restored fr Pte 07-23-54” shown in LW, apply to James Tuffin (806), the arm sgt.  Brown shows as “Farr-Maj as Sgt” or“Farr-Sgt” for all of his time w/ the Svc Trps, the titles apparently being used interchangably.

Amidst all the hieroglyphics, you can see he enlisted c. 1830/31, and would have been near the end of his career during the Crimean war. He did embark for the Crimea, but according to the Musters was sent to Scutari prior to the arrival of the Troops in the Crimea. There are probably some errors in the records, for he shows being awarded a medal for the Crimea and a clasp for Sebastopol.

Hello Linda,

I have Broun/Brown ancestors who were farmers at various farms between Carnwath and West Linton, going back to James Broun who died in 1704 aged about 72 at Carnwath. On the 1800's Census's a couple of them were at Dolphinton. I don't recognise any of the names you listed but if you would like to send me an e-mail address I can send you a pdf file to see if there is any connection.
