Adding a snippet with another connection to Kilsyth .......

It appears there was another Hamilton Brown, born c1856 in Kilsyth, died 5th August 1905.

This Hamilton Brown (of Garrel House, Kilsyth), was the husband of Jane Cullen.

It was the name which rang a bell with me - I posted a photo a few years ago on the Scottish War Graves Project as one of his sons (John) was killed in WW1. I was never able to identify John on CWGC.

Just on the off chance... I see your surname is Anderson.  Are you related to any from Fountainbridge, Edinburgh?  I have them in my tree from 1871 as living in Ponton Street area?

Hi Irene,

Not that I know of, but in saying that, Anderson is nearly as common a surname as Brown!

Hello Anne

It was worth a try!  I'm looking for Scotts, Andersons and Russells all from the middle of Edinburgh. Like a needle in a hay stack. They also followed the naming pattern rigidly so doubly difficult.
