Jean Brown & James Allan
« on: Tuesday 19 May 09 22:21 UTC (UK) »
Looking for any information on Jean Brown and James Allan who were married 28/4/1775 in Dundonald.

They were living at Oldrome when their children were born, and I believe James may have worked on the Fairlie Estate as a Wright.

I believe Jean's parents were Gilbert Brown and Margaret Blain, but have yet to find the evidence.

Any information that will trace and connect ancestors would be most welcome.

hi sheila-ann  Smiley

don't know if you've seen this -

http://worldconnect.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:1812727&id=I85580139

there are several other entries that have the couple but not the parents on
that site
they all seem to have alexander allan born 1780 as a connection

also quite a few public member trees on ancestry have them but they don't
seem to be any further forward(backward ?) than you

Hi EV,

Alexander Allan (Allan Shipping Line) was the third child of Jean and James; my direct ancestor is their fourth child, John.

Jean is the half-sister of Agnes Brown; Agnes married Gilbert Burns and their oldest child was Robert.  Jean was therefore Burns' aunt and my direct ancestor John his first cousin.

According to info picked up on various sites, Burns stayed with his aunt after his father stopped working as gardener at Fairlie Estate at the time when Jean Armour's father was trying to bring some action against him as the father of her soon-to-be-born-child.  James also worked at the Fairlie Estate as a wright/joiner.

Thanks for the website addresses.  Will take a look at them and see what other information I can find.

Regards,

Sheila-Ann
