Hamilton Brown 1870

[sancti]

Marcie according to the census records your Hamilton Brown was born c1853

[marcie dean]

This Mark, stated that his Hamilton Browns' 1870 father was James Brown married to a Louisa de Shazo. I checked sp making sure to state Kilsyth rather than Leith and only one James came up as father married to a Louisa but her surname was I believe (McIntyre)

I tried Family Searchon IGI no matches. I suppose what I could do is go back and go for all areas to see what turns up in Stirlingshire.

The only other ones that turned up were Alexander Brown married to Maggie Lawson, son Hamilton Brown 1870 and alexanders' father also Hamilton Brown

And what is a Coal Master?

The GR record could be wrong or the parents married outwith Scotland.

Brown is a common name and may be no relation to your Hamilton Brown who was born c1853

[marcie dean]

 Every male in this family has names a son Hamilton.  With one exception
 Hamilton Brown married Christina Johnston and their first son was Edward he remarried some 10yrs later to an Isabella Bee and their son was Fred.
Whilst the girls name their sons anything other than Hamilton, preferring to use all the other names in the family and also from their husbands family.
I tried adding them up and there are over 17 Hamiltons over the decades from mid 1700 to 1920

John is a merchant seaman and margaret when they were getting married was resident at 37 Seabray? in Leith not sure exactly where that is, is it lock side near the canal or nr the dock?

Hello Marcie, My Great grandmother Mary was a sister of your Margaret Scott, she was the daughter of John or William Scott and Margaret Anderson.  There was a birth in 1855 for Margaret which tells you how many children she had etc.  Mary Scott married Thomas Anderson a butcher and they stayed in Edinburgh.
