Sorry, but my Brown ancestors pre-date yours and were  from Inverkeilor.  My last Brown ancestor was Grace Brown, married to John Bell in !805.

Don'mean to butt in, I also have Browns in my family tree; both on my grandfathers side and my husbands family maternal side.

My husbands family settled in Portsmouth apparently but origins were Edinburgh.  They had a livery coach and four business.

My Grandads family never really moved away from Leith area of Edinburgh.  I was trying to sort out where Inver? was in relation to Leith.  My memory keeps failing me.  We as a family live in Dorset and my maiden name was Laidlaw before we married.  It was my grandfathers mother Marjory who was a Brown.
Her actual name (and I feel sorry for her) was...Marjory Charles Ferguson Macdonald Brown and she may as well have had Hutchison thrown in which was her mothers maiden name.
I would also be curious to find a connection between the two branches of Browns' relations.

Don't suppose there is a tie up with your Browns.

I was trying to sort out where Inver? was in relation to Leith. 

Assuming you mean Inverkeil(l)or, it's about 85 miles by the present road system. Bear in mind that from about the mid-19th century it would have been simplest to travel by train, taking say half a day. Before that you'd probably have gone by sea.

If you don't mean Inverkeil(l)or, you'll need to tell us which of the numerous Inver.....s you mean.
